Perhaps it has been mentioned but selecting reverse idle during taxi, say, as I did once, to help keep brake temps down, dumps the derates on the AT.

Do that on the 75/76 and selecting TOGA gives you full thrust for takeoff if you forget to reselect D 1 or D2, fantastic acceleration on a light aircraft though !

Reversers were checked on Concorde during taxi out.
