BUT why do u guys hit the N1 button at 1000´? No acceleration at 1500´ for u guys down under?
1,000' for our outfit too.

Also on the Classic selecting LVL CHG automatically puts you in the N1 mode
Do you have a reference. My reading of FCOM2 says that LVL CHG does not automatically select N1 mode. VNAV does though. Do you have reference.

Also on the Classic selecting LVL CHG...and is the recommended mode during engine out acceleration and climb up to software U10.7 even on the NG (U10.8 and later it is LVL CHG or VNAV).
My FCTM says that LVL CHG is not not used for single engine acceleration, which makes sense to me. The normal non-normal procedure we use is to bug up at acceleration height (i.e. TOGA FMA pitch mode) and then set A/T off, LVL CHG and MCT when flaps up and clean speed.

U10.8 and later it is LVL CHG or VNAV
In my FCTM the diff for U10.8 and later is to do with VNAV. LVL CHG has nothing to do with the FMC.

By using LVL CHG as a standard you are using a procedure that stays the same during both 2 engine and engine out climbs.
Harminisation? Oh you mean as in single engine go around harminisation
