You can turn off the Auto-thrust and fly it manually or if (gasp!) it is deferred. Normal ops is all auto-thrust. Once set to the Climb detent at 1000' in the climbout all thrust changes are automatic (levers do not move) until about 20 feet in the flare when you go to idle. Took about 10 seconds to get used to it! Auto-thrust! You can turn off the Auto-thrust and fly it manually or if (gasp!) it is deferred. Normal ops is all auto-thrust.
