What type of conditions does Autothrottle ICE mode specifically respond to?

The Autothrottle ICE mode is specifically designed to respond to temperature limitations that could impact the performance of an aircraft engine. This mode is crucial in ensuring that the engine operates within safe temperature parameters during flight. By managing the throttle automatically, it helps prevent overheating, which could lead to engine failures or inefficient performance.

The focus of the ICE mode is on maintaining optimal engine temperatures rather than addressing engine failures, weather conditions, or system malfunctions directly. Temperature management is particularly important during critical phases of flight, especially in various environmental conditions where engine performance might be affected.
