Throttles on Take-Off

A long time ago, on the L382 Hercules, the Flight Engineer used to set and control the throttles during Take-Off. The Principal Flight Operations Inspector for the Company stopped that practice and the responsibilty reverted to the Captain, as he had the legal duty for safe operation of the Aircraft.
