Boeing Auto-throttle settings

[OPEN DES]

hi there
in the 744 the thrust reduction is done automatically with reference to heights set on the take off reference page:
- the THR RED HT ; CLB will be the thrust lim (CLB-1 or CLB-2 when reduced climb power is preselected on the THRUST LIM page)
-or in case of N-1 (eng fail): the EO THR RED HT ; CONT will be the thrust lim (MCT)

during a go around the reduction will occur by pilot action by pushing the THR button on the MCP. in KLM the procedure if i recall correctly is to reduce after selecting flaps 5. note that selecting FLCH as pitch mode will NOT initiate the reduction.
hope this helps

FYI:
you can also push the THR button during normal climb to de-select a possible reduced climb with CLB-1 or CLB-2 and select full CLB
