The biggest problem with this is upon descending below 10,000 FT when I turn the landing lights back on. Even with the "A/P" and "A/T" engaged, the engine thrust lever for engine #1 still jumps to full thrust. I then have to quickly react to turn off the "A/T", hit F1 (idle) to get them to reset together, and then turn the "A/T" and "IAS" buttons back on. I'll try your method, but that still won't solve the problem if I understand it correctly--it just may provide a quicker reaction when the problem arises (edit: 4x's every flight; once when cleared to takeoff, once when climbing through 10,000 FT, decending through 10,000FT and the final upon taxiing off the runway).
