What is one of the benefits of using Autothrottle in aircraft operations?

The benefit of using Autothrottle in aircraft operations is that it maintains the desired airspeed automatically. This system helps enhance the overall efficiency of the aircraft’s flight management by adjusting the thrust produced by the engines. By maintaining a set airspeed, the Autothrottle alleviates the need for pilots to constantly monitor and adjust throttle levels, allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of flight management, such as navigation and communication. This automatic adjustment promotes smoother flight dynamics and can contribute to fuel efficiency by optimizing engine performance relative to the aircraft's current flight conditions.

The other options do not accurately reflect the main function of the Autothrottle. For instance, while manual landings often require human intervention, Autothrottle is primarily utilized in cruise and level flight conditions rather than hand flying the aircraft during landing. Additionally, Autothrottle is designed to minimize pilot workload, not to require constant adjustments. Lastly, it does not disengage all flight control systems; instead, it works in conjunction with other avionics systems to ensure safe and efficient flight management.
