Alty, I'm a bit confused. If an engine is well within its flat rating, does thrust remain constant as it accelerates for take off? I'm thinking the anwer is no, that it decreases. But if Smokey is right, and the engine is neither at its limiting rpm, EGT, nor internal pressure limit, there seems no reason to program the engine to decrease it's thrust output.
