Hello, I am currently flying over Spain and I am noticing (not for the first time) that my plane starts to suddenly increase the throttle to 100% and lose speed, despite the favorable winds staying unchanged at low speeds. The 2 previous hours were flown with roughly the same weight, at the same altitude and the same winds.
I have had this issue in the past, where my plane would suddenly struggle with the harmless conditions it had flown in the previous parts of the flight.
Currently, I am flying an A320 with a 65% load at FL370. I am 99% sure this is appropriate since I have hundreds of flight hours in this aircraft with this kind of load in these conditions and I have never had issues before this year (I am not entirely sure when this started to occur for the first time). I am also following the real-life flight with a similar weight with regard to the flight path and altitude.
After some time and my plane losing significant speed (my A330 once stalled and started tumbling down to earth), it all goes back to normal with my plane suddenly being able to generate more power again and accelerating back to the normal speed it had before this weird occasion. All this happens within minutes and with the same conditions before, during, and after the occasion.
Do I not take into account a certain parameter or what is my issue?

But I already tried to explain, that this is most likely not the case.
I have flown with even heavier weight for the past two hours at the same altitude with the same winds. I have also flown the A320 for several hundred hours in the same conditions and situations without a problem. It wasn’t a stall, as the the switch from 100% throttle usage back to 80% happened in 1 second and wasn’t the result of me slowly fighting against the stall.
Is it possible for you to send any videos or replay that you have of this.
If you have had this multiple times, is there anything that you can think of that each of the flights that lost power had in common which could help reproduce this issue for someone else who might try and recreate your flights.
This is interesting - I had a similar issue (albeit more extreme) for the Air Europa event last week. Approach the west coast, a sudden 100% throttle, dramatic speed loss but then suddenly registering mach .9something, pitching up, AP disconnects and death plunge. Like you said, weight etc. all normal.
I put this down to a new bermuda triangle forming to the west of Spain :)
The A330 isnt a strong plane when it comes too takeoff you have to pitch at like 10 degrees the engines arent strong and for the a320 idk maybe too much V/S idk
I flew one time from Orly to Split and saw a plane crash over the Austrian Alps, but the wind that day was at 100-140kts. Luckily I arrived safely to my destination.
