I have the problem that when approaching an airport the Thrust automatically adjust itself and I can’t do anything, either increase or decrease, its completely automatic until I have landed.
I have tried with settings at both easy and true to life and it’s the same problem, even with all assistance turned off.
You never answered before, so do you have the AI enabled? Also, that controller might be relevant if you try unplugging it, and find the problem goes away.
Turn both A/T ARM switches to off (on the AP panel, just to the right of the AP enable/disable push button) to get manual control of throttles on the 787.
@ResetXPDR, thanks for that. I had same thing and knew it was autothrottle and just used the button on the throttle - did not see those switches. I don’t do POHs! Cheers.
