IIRC, trying to manually move the throttles on a Gulfstream will result in an autothrottle disconnect.

Makes sense too that way, isn't it?

Cap'n Doug, if you're reading this... I recall clearly, on the one
occasion I was in an A320 flight deck, that the AutoThrottle's
variations weren't reflected in corresponding changes in position of
the throttle. So when you guys want to manually override at some stage,
does the throttle, upon first touch, automatically move itself to the
position where the AutoThrottle has been up to that instant?

It shouldn't happen that you get to move around a throttle that's in
neutral, if you know what I mean )
