Minimum Idle, Approach Idle and Reverse Idle Thrust – FADEC Control – Airbus A320

MINIMUM IDLE THRUST

  • It is selected on ground when reverse is not selected
  • It is selected in flight when the landing gear is retracted and aircraft is not in CONF 3 or FULL
  • It is regulated according to bleed system demand and ambient conditions.

APPROACH IDLE THRUST

  • It is selected in flight when the landing gear is down OR aircraft is in CONF 3 or FULL.
  • It allows engine to accelerate rapidly from idle to go-around thrust.
  • It is regulated according to bleed system demand, ambient conditions and aircraft altitude.

REVERSE IDLE THRUST

  • It is selected on ground, when the thrust lever is in REV IDLE position.
  • It is slightly higher than forward idle thrust.
