correct as-is Approach Auto Throttle

[Raisuli]

I've played with auto throttle in approach mode the last couple days.  In anything other than Case III/straight in long final it's a nightmare.  Is that to be expected?  My guess is it's too far behind the jet to do overhead breaks or case I, but there's also the possibility I'm being ham fisted.

You have to really anticipate it but with a little practice you can do it for CASE I just fine.

If I recall, you shouldn't/wouldn't activate autothrottle until either abeam or somewhere soon after but before the groove. It's not meant for abrupt changes. Your Case I break can still be executed.

I wait until I'm on speed to activate, then I get really messed up in the crosswind turn!  Starting to sound like my original theory (I'm being ham fisted) is the most likely!  Back to work!

Are you guys able to get it to work with full landing flaps?  I only seem to be able to get it to work at takeoff flaps.  I always wait till I'm abeam the ship and on speed.
