I'm pretty sure that full power would be set on the brakes and left there for a while until all were happy!
Is this because engine failures are more likely while they're running up to full power and just after they get there? Sitting in a Saab doing the on-the-spot disco dance at the end of 27 at Kirkwall, watching the windsock on Viagra pointing directly across the runway, I've often wondered why there was such a wait between hitting full oomph and actually getting going.
