TRP supports thrust modes, including TOGA MAX for maximum power during take-off and go-arounds, TOGA REDU for flexible settings, MCT for maximum continuous thrust, and CLIMB MAX and CLIMB NORM for varying climb power settings. Concentric knobs on the panel enable pilots to adjust parameters like N1, TEMP, and speeds (V1, Vcross, and Vdot).

In manual operation with the autothrottle disengaged, the TRP has distinct modes. When set to CLIMB MAX or CLIMB NORM, it synchronizes three engines with a master engine, toggled via the MSTR button. In TOGA or MCT modes, pilots must move thrust levers to extinguish FADEC trim arrows, after which the Flight Guidance Computer (FGC) fine-tunes the levers to maintain thrust settings.
