Dodgy load sheets????
Hi,
I was on a DC10-30 from SEA to AMS the other day. About 7 seconds before Vr there was a sudden and very noticable increase in engine thrust (and noise) which lasted to about 5 seconds after climb started.
I guessed that the assumed thrust required for take-off was too low....possibly due to load sheet innacuracies??
Is this a common occurance that once accelerating down the runway that take-off thrust has to be adjusted once stabilised to give higher thrust (assuming reduced thrust take-off??) to reach V1 early enough.
Any pilots have to switch off EEC during take-off for temporary over-boost?? (p.s. I assume the DC-10 does not have EEC)
Again my questions are from a flying rookie.
Thanks.
