5.3. a320 Throttle Controls
AutoThrottle
AutoThrottle System (A/THR)
, using inputs from the FMGC, controls thrust
based on airplane speed, altitude and
configuration. The throttles do not move when
the Autothrottle System is in use. The system
is armed in flight by pushing the A/THR switch
on the FCU when the throttles are not in the
engagement range.
Transmit signals to the FADEC, which
computes and displays the thrust rating limit
and EPR. The throttle can only be moved
manually. There are five lever positions define
by stops or detents:
Reverse Idle,
Forward Idle,
Climb (CL),
Continuous Thrust (FLX/MCT)
and TakeOff / Go Around (TO/GA)
Autothrottle Disconnect Switches ( Red
Buttons )
When pressed, disconnects the autothrottle
system.
fitted at the FWD IDLE position. The stop is
reset when the throttle is selected back to
forward thrust.
Pitch Trim Wheels
Provides mechanical control of horizontal
stabilizer trim. Trim wheels have priority over
electrical control. Use of trim wheels does not
disconnect the ELACs, as the override
mechanism ensures that the computers remain
synchronized with the manually selected
position.
Trim wheels must be utilized when pitch direct
law is in effect.
Pitch trim is automatically reset to 0 following
touchdown as the pitch attitude becomes less
than 2.5°.
Trim Position Scales
Indicate trim position in degrees. Normal range
is marked by a green band.
CG Scales
Indicate relation between CG location and
pitch trim setting prior takeoff
Select Reverse Thrust by overriding the stop

According to Kevin Camilleri A320 F/O, when a
aircraft, during a flight, is handed over to
another controller, that controller may request
the crew to "IDENT" by saying e.g. "American
590 squawk ident." The crew can push this
button which will send a signal to the ground
radars and highlight the aircraft on the ATC
screen. The controller can then confirm that
the target is actually the aircraft he just spoke
to.
