yes SONICBUM that is exactly why you should apply the MEL up until setting takeoff power = no normal captain or technician can fully understand the consequences of flying with a “NO DISPATCH” failure on todays complex aircraft.
So I ask again : are there examples on a European company who apply/uses the MEL up until setting takeoff power ?
