wacth your watch

Hi Altn Law (protection lost?)!

Thanks for your reply.

According to T/O requirements Flex T/O ensures enough obst clearence without any thrust change. Nevertheless, the pilot has always TOGA available for climb improvement. So far, so good.
If the pilot considers the use of TOGA, then a limitation of 10 mints applies. I think the stopwatch should start at that very moment and not before.

But that's not the question, we can put a post about stopwatches and debate this, the discussion is about any limitation about flex and if so why and if not maybe we should consider a definition change between MCT and TOGA.

That's my intention. Thanks anyway.
