Hi all- I took the E-170 out for a spin this evening. When I tried engaged the auto throttle, nothing happened. Has anyone had this happen? Should I re-install it?

Thanks!

Was the AP engaged? If not, the AT will not engage

How are you engaging the auto-throttle? I don't see a way to on the panel.

Cheers!

Right, but that should merely engage airspeed hold once the autothrottle is armed. I think we're missing the autothrottle switch.

Cheers!
