The autothrottle controls the aircraft
- vertically
- laterally
- both later ally and vertically
Explanation from PART66Online
The autothrottle manages engine thrust to control speed or to maintain a vertical path, so it acts on the aircraft in the vertical/longitudinal sense rather than steering it laterally. Lateral guidance (heading and roll) is handled by the autopilot's roll channel through the ailerons, not by the autothrottle.
