Anybody knows why?
Thanks in advance
If this occurs when using FLEX TO thrust, it is because the flex temperature used brings the TO thrust below CLB thrust. This is not allowed under certification rules, so initial CLB thrust is reduced. Once clean, thrust gently increases to "normal" climb thrust.
