At what point is the thrust reduced to climb power, and the VS/FMC verticle profile climb rates used?
Climb thrust is set at 1500' or at a certain flap retraction speed (Flaps 5 for the 747), depending on which of 2 standard departure profiles is flown. V/S is seldom used in the climb, and FMS Vertical Nav is used whenever available.
