Hey there,I have a question. When executing a so-called Low Speed Abort Take-off procedure under 80 kts. the throttle setting to idle does notoverride the Autothrottle. Over 80kts. I am able to engage the brakes and throttle lever effectively, but that does not comply withthis procedure. Has anybody encountered this and what are the options?Thanks in advance for your assistance!Greetings,Fred

It's been a while but from memory the A/T servo only disconects above 80kts like THR HOLD on the 744 so below that speed you have to first disconnect the A/T and apply manual braking.

Hi Fred,Just did some RTO's below 80 kts and indeed it is not working as per aircraft.However; after checking all the possible RTO modes, also between 80 and 100 and above 100 kts, that all worked correctly,Only then this came to mind:PMDG Option Menu - Joystick Control- Override mode:Mine was set to Override only in Clamp Mode.Never is the other option but will not work I suppose.For the time being (as it may have other neg. effects) I have set the option to - Always-This solves the RTO problems below 80 kts.Another possibility is to press the F1 (Throttle cut key) when closing the throttles.OrSelect reverse thrust.Hope it helps,Harry
