August 10, 201510 yr I have finally set my 777 in a throttle intervention mode that suits me the best - NEVER allow for manual thrust. This avoids any misplacement of the throttle axis in my controller, saves me from a few surprises, and it can still be override if you use your F1 / F2 / F3 / F4 keys, or use a fancy controller programming script to assign these key presses to buttons. In Hold mode, during takeoff, for instance, if I need to abort before V1, I simply press F2, or F1 in a hurry :-). During a stormy approach, if I want to momentarily override the A/T settings, I use F2 or F3, or in the limit, F4... I had never explored this mode, but it's the one I am keeping, for sure !
