FE Hoppy:
Hmm. now we really are getting into interesting territory. I know a little jet with an ATTCS that will do that for me and I'm not allowed to go if it's inop. I also know quite a few big jets where my performance after Vef is predicated on the assumed temperature thrust and I need not advance the thrust levers.
No doubt that almost any lightly loaded transport jet could perform the profile with reduced thrust after an engine failure. But, that is simply not the categorical case. (weight, performance, etc.)

I also know a jet where advancing the thrust lever on the good engine could well cause me to loose shall we say "control on the ground".
No doubt, if below takeoff power VMCg. But, no competent performance engineer would permit that to happen.

If we swap my "space" for the more commonly used " performance" then I think it covers the whole concept quite nicely.
I don't understand what you are saying.

Oh yes, I detest "balanced fields" and never use them.
That is not an option for commercial operations in the U.S. It's "nice" that you as an individual get to make that determination.
