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!
