    Yep and reducing lift. Auto throttle would compensate for the lift with more thrust :)

    Auto thrust will compensate for loss of speed, not lift. It will also 'hunt' the speed in these conditions, Sounds awful down the back.

    Ah we're fighting the same battle :)

    Loss of speed is loss of lift which the plane wants back.
