The throttle control lever in the cockpit center pedestal controls :
The throttle control lever in the cockpit center pedestal controls :
- the engine level of thrust
- the thrust limit mode.
- receives the throttle lever angle
- computes the engine thrust limit parameter and adjusts the actual engine thrust parameter accordingly.

The throttle control lever controls :
The ECU adjusts the actual engine thrust parameter according to this value (Ref. AMM D/O 73-20-00-00).
The top limit value of the target thrust parameter is the actual position of the throttle control lever (this is applicable when the alpha floor protection is not activated).
