Thank you for knowing me from three lines of text
And since to your expert opinion I am such a novice, can you please explain me how to move the thrustlevers from the FLEX/MCT detent to the FLEX/MCT detent?
If you try to explain the procedure, do it correctly please:
If you make a take off with a low GW and with reduced power you may chose not to select TOGA with an engine failure. Only after reaching the engine out acceleration altitude you have to move the thrust levers shortly out of and into the FLEX/MCT detent again to remove the respective FMA and to set MCT thrust in stead of reduced takoff thrust. It will not take you 10 minutes to reach the engine out acceleration altitude. So like I said before if you have the thrust levers in the MCT detent or below you will not be limited to 10 minutes in the respective powersetting!

Like skiesfull allready said there are also engines limited to 5 minutes TOGA power. This is not only type limited but may also be different between two operators. The 10 minutes can be bought extra with airbus such as the 15 knots tailwind in stead of 10 knots (different story).
In our fleet we have two IAE aircraft from different operators and one has 5 minutes max TOGA and the other 10 minutes...
