My question is from Descent Performance in Aircraft Operations in portion Climb and Descent Performance of Aircraft Performance

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

The best explanation: Accurate manual control of the flight path will be difficult to handle without the auto-throttle. The precise control of the flight path gradient is achieved by the changes in the thrust of the flight along with the elevator control inputs given to the system during the gradient of descent of the aircraft.
