Unlike Boeing aircraft, Airbus thrust levers do not move automatically when the auto-thrust is engaged. Instead, pilots place the levers into specific "detents" (CL for Climb, FLX/MCT for Flex Temp/Max Continuous Thrust, or TOGA for Takeoff/Go-Around). The computers then modulate engine power while the levers remain stationary.

Let us take a virtual walkthrough. Imagine you are sitting in the left (Captain’s) seat. Grab your mouse or finger, and let’s look around. Airbus A330 Cockpit 360 View
Automatically adds power or lowers the nose if the aircraft gets dangerously fast or slow, regardless of pilot input. Why Explore an Airbus A330 Cockpit via 360 View?
Look straight ahead in your 360-degree tour, and you will face the Main Instrument Panel. This area is dominated by the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), which presents critical flight data across six high-resolution displays. 1.

Positioned directly in front of both the Captain (left) and First Officer (right), the PFD displays critical real-time flight data: Attitude (the artificial horizon) Airspeed and altitude tapes Vertical speed indicators Autopilot engagement status (Flight Mode Annunciator) 2.
