Airbus Auto Thrust (A/THR) System

In this video we explain the Airbus Auto Thrust system. We cover how the fly-by-wire technology works, the mode of operation and how to connect and disconnect the auto thrust correctly. We also look at indications for the auto thrust and a few examples of abnormal operation.
This channel shares professional aviation knowledge from the MindSpaceX Aviation e-learning platform.

Interesting …could you run the autho thrust on one engine while the other engine is sitting at idle ? Or would be only manual thrust in this case ?

2:55 what does "srs" means?? i always hear pilots saying it in airbus cockpit right after they set power for takeoff

[@MindSpaceXAviation]

'SRS' stands for 'Speed Reference System'. It is a vertical guidance mode in the FMGS (Flight management and guidance system). During takeoff and Go-Around the aircraft will use pitch to follow a given speed which is safe for the climb. This vatical climb mode is called 'SRS'. The speed is considered safe and will ensure the aircraft always have a sufficient margin to a stall.
I hope this helps? Please visit our academy where you can see all lessons, including a detailed lesson on Airbus Speeds, which I have created for this very purpose.
