AirBus A320 Specs
| Airbus A318 | Airbus A320 | |
|---|---|---|
| Engines(PW) | Pratt & Whitney PW6000 series | IAE V2500 series |

| Type | A318 | A320 |
What is thrust mode?
In the thrust mode the engine is maintained at a fixed power setting according to the different flight phases. When the A/T is working in thrust mode, speed is controlled by pitch (or the control column), and not by the A/T. A radar altimeter feeds data to the autothrottle mostly in this mode.
What is SRS mode A320?
SRS (speed reference system) vertical mode provides vertical guidance up to acceleration altitude. At acceleration altitude SRS is automatically replaced by CLB mode, which accelerates the aircraft to initial climb speed.
How does autothrust work on an Airbus A320?
Thrust remains fixed until you set power to Climb, normally at thrust reduction height.. It’s only then That AUTOTHRUST becomes ACTIVE and you can set speed manually !
How to select mode on an Airbus A320?
Here’s what happens..At the gate I select my preferred climb Speed then right-click, (i.e. pull) the IAS knob, Runway heading selected (right click) & altitude & VS (& right click). Now I have the correct figures up, all in selected (manual) mode.
What is the pitch mode on an A320?
This mode commands aircraft pitch to maintain reference speed. During takeoff, this speed is V2+10.
How does autopilot work on an Airbus A319?
But Airbus A320 and newer (A319 is just a variant of A320) changes that with the artificial neutral stability in normal control law. Even with autopilot off, the flight computer automatically adjusts trim so that the aircraft flies straight so that adding power makes the aircraft accelerate and reducing it makes it decelerate.
