Abstract
A thrust control assembly includes a balk application arrangement which provides, in response to a received balk command to prohibit command of thrust in a balk direction, a balk force on a rotatable thrust lever acting to oppose an attempt by the pilot to move the lever in a direction so as to command or increase thrust in the balk direction. The balk application arrangement controls an auto-throttle actuator to provide the balk force on the thrust lever.
