incremental buttons for PWR/THROTTLE

Hi everyone,

My simple idea is the following : when flying in autopilot mode, but without auto throttle on (as I do during climb or some parts of descent), I would like to be able to adjust the PWR gently, without the abrupt changes that putting my finger on the slider causes inevitably. This is why I would enjoy having two buttons (one minus, one plus) below the slider as shown below :

These would disappear whenever Autopilot is fully off (or indeed when autothrottlee is on). Acting on the slider would have priority in any autothrottle off situation.

Looking forward to see if I am alone here or not ,)

Happy flying!

Not quite sure if I understand what you’re requesting here. You’re suggesting that you control the throttle with autothrottle on? What’s the point of autothrottle then? Mind explaining the request a little better?

No, autopilot on but manual PWR, hence the buttons for precise jerk-less changes. I have corrected a sentence which was wrong and would not let people understand.

Sorry, things were not clear tbh. I have rewritten some bits and I hope the idea comes now across better.
