Cool

Well there are derated and then there are really derated after departure. Take a look at what they do at KSNA for a departure for noise abatement. That I would call close to unsafe due to the slowness of the aircraft and the configuration that you have to fly in. If you lose one on departure, it is going to be a LOT of fun in the cockpit...

regards
