Boeing Pilots: How to sync thrust levers?

Featured Replies

Thanks guys... turning on the hardware throttle indicator makes this a non-issue... very easy to get the thrust levers matched before you disengage A/T.

Appreciate the help, and realize I could probably have found this in the documentation somewhere, but I've been studying outside the sim for a week... and at some point I need to actually get in the plane and start using it 🙂

I only disengage the autothrottle and autopilot when I am stabilised on final approach. This means that the correct thrust is already set, so I can use the thrust lever position indicator to closely match the required power when I disengage the autothrottle.

My pleasure.  I both wrote manuals and taught pilots in my career and realize that the eclectic iFly EFB is a learning challenge to all who've acclimated to the intuitive UI of other tablets in the cockpit.  🤪

We are predominately visual learners, and a quick screenshot with corresponding arrows and annotations are worth their virtual weight in gold.  I try to do it whenever possible, as the minute or so usually spent responding with a text-only explanation frequently leads to more clarification needed in the long run, whereas a screenshot with annotation usually gets the "Ahh ha" moment and a quick resolution. 🙂

Regards,
Steve Dra
