Hmm.. Interesting, so are they (engines) at say 70% of max thrust while landing? the reason i thought they would be at max was in case you need to abort landing at the last moment, ( i saw AI 777 do that just recently at heathrow, very low and almost ready to touch down )then atleast you can utilize all that power quickly. As pilots do you think an abort exerts more stress to the aircraft frame ? and if in case of aborted landing are they given any prefrence by ATC....
