When in flight, the thrust limit mode corresponds to the detent of which thrust lever position?

• A. Most advanced thrust lever position
• B. Center detent
• C. Least advanced detent
• D. Idle detent

Answer: (A)

Thrust limit mode uses the maximum thrust reference tied to the forward-most throttle position. On an A320, the most forward detent is the TOGA (Takeoff/Go-around) position. In flight, when thrust limit is active, the engine limits are set to the value associated with that TOGA reference, effectively constraining thrust to the upper allowable level. The other detents represent lower thrust settings, so they are not the reference for thrust limit in flight. That’s why the most advanced thrust lever position is the correct association.
