Thanks Nick....
Just taking that one step further......
Assuming you simulate the 2.5 minute power setting with a lesser figure for training....once a failure is introduced and the pilot sets Vtoss with this training power setting, [a constant] the aircraft climbs at a certain ROC.
Without touching any power setting, but just "beep' the aircraft to Vy, the aircraft's ROC will decrease.
Then without adjusting any power setting "Beep" the IAS back to Vtoss and watch the ROC increase.
I thought it may be a transient 'benefit", so I allowed the aircraft to stablise at Vy for a minute, but yet Vtoss still gave a better ROC????
It happens in practice, but its difficult to get a good explaination that can be passed on.
