From the report:
"According to Airbus, the RETARD alert is designed to occur at 20 ft radio altitude on landing and advise the pilot to reduce the thrust levers to idle. "
Now, I don't fly a bus and never have ... but is this REALLY the level of automated assistance that we, as professional pilots, are required to have these days to simply fly a plane??? Being told to "Retard" the thrust levers on landing??
Obviously, there is a high level of automation and electronic assistance of all modern planes, including Boeings, that has made aviation much safer and that's a good thing.
But just how far is Airbus going to "dumb down" the act of piloting a plane?

It's just a reminder to take the thrust levers out of the climb detent to idle or else you'll be "landing" at approach speed, as the auto-thrust wouldn't kick off
