Thrust lever problem

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone,

 

Today i did try a short flight and After all plane was on and perfect i moved The thrust lever in to the lower position to remove the start lock or whatever is the name.  I hear the voice telling me it was removed and then i started to taxi but moving the throttle on they didnt move then i was thinking it was a problem of calibration and i tried using F3 but the throttle didn move they moved only couple of millimiters then using the throttle of the saitek i was able to move them into idle but never be able to move them on what problem can it be?

 

Thanks

You have the control/gust lock engaged (the lever is located by the First Officer's left knee, push it downwards to deactivate. The lever cannot be seen from the Captain’s seat if it is set to the off position)
