n the 'good 'ol days' one could 'firewall' the thrust levers for short periods, with some resulting power benefit, in emergencies, with these systems, one must hit the ground or obsticle with serviceable engines!
Yes, and in the good ole days some guys were failing all their engines by operating them at conditions that they were not designed for. So the regulators required a corrective action.
I seem to recall that the automatic systems now flying some aircraft are also considered an advancement over the good ole days when it was far easier to stall an aircraft out.
