As a very nervous flyer that comes to this site to help overcome my anxiety through education and better understanding and would like to make a request.
I got pretty uncomfortable on a QF 747 evening flight out of Heathrow when all of a sudden the plane pulls back on the power, levels out and crawls along just after take off....to be fair I crapped myself!
Not a word from the flight deck, so I'm left to my own imagination and feeling very anxious to say the least. Then after a short time, full power again and me still worried until I had a chance to talk with the cabin crew.
I now know why this happened but I'd just like to ask you guys up front to maybe say a few words prior to depature about this proceedure to avoid excessive engine noise on takeoff. I am sure there are some PAX like me who don't know about this and would be put at ease....on the other hand maybe you guys get a chuckle at our expense.
Regards
