Why do the interesting ones come up when I'm on the way to work?

Some VERY FAST (and not thoroughly thought out) comments :

You can select the Derated Thrust for Engine Failure at V1, the certified V1 does consider full Derated thrust, irrespective of Thrust Reduction (Assumed Temp), but why????? Control and performance should be perfectly satisfactory as things are

For Heaven's sake DO NOT select FULL Takeoff thrust at V1 (unless the reduced thrust was based upon a reduction from FULL thrust), you may lose control.

For the B777 variants that I fly (4 variants), it is safe to select FULL Takeoff thrust after V2, but I cannot speak for all variants. With the shorter Rudder moment Arm, and much increased thrust available, the GE 115 powered B777-200 series MAY NOT give you the protection spoken of at V2.

Similar rules apply for APR aaircraft, ask Mutt about the "Jungle Jet"

Gotta Fly,

Regards,

Old Smokey
