Flex T/O limitation
Dear Aviators,
We all know the conditions to perform a Flex T/O: 25%, T ref, what a flat rated engine is, the Thrust vs Temp graphics, etc...
One of these conditions is that Flex T/O thrust should be greater than MCT.
On the other hand, and correct me if I'm wrong, there is no time limitation for Flex T/O, although we always run chronos happily during Flex T/O roll.
Is this not contradictory?
MCT: Max CONTINUOS Thrust, I understand that this thrust can be kept until fuel burns out.
What about Flex T/O if I always have the TOGA 5 or 10 minutes joker?
How can be a greater thrust than MCT unlimited?
It may seem absurd and it is not an important matter, just want to check if there are more crazy guys like me that think about this silly topics.
Thanks-
