747FOCAL,
I don't seem to be making myself understood to you. If that's my fault, I apologize.
However, your last response to me (edited by me)
____________________________________________________
If you're pretty sure you're going to die, I think [you] will try anything that helps regardless what point of takeoff you are at.

exactly illustrates my point. Why did the MK crewmember not firewall the throttles instead of merely upping them a few notches from 1.3 to 1.6 EPR?
And my question remains:
Is it acceptable practice for a pilot to correct the power setting by a significant amount (or any amount, for that matter) at as late a stage as VI during the takeoff roll?
I would be really grateful for answer from you experts.
Thanks in advance.
