That caused me to question my logic, so I went to the most recent AAIB full report, on a B737 reduced thrust take-off here: https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/airc...gh-21july-2017. It';s a 94 page report, there are about 20 referenced webpages and 6 books, but no aircraft documents at-all. I take your point it's a lot better than historical practice, but with still a lot of room for improvement.
