Inadvertent operation of an automatic power or thrust control system by the flightcrew must be prevented, or if not prevented, must not result in an unsafe condition.

(d)

Unless the failure of an automatic power or thrust control system is extremely remote, the system must—

Provide a means for the flightcrew to override the automatic function; and

Prevent inadvertent deactivation of the system.
