A lot of people spouting on this thread are failing to RTFQ.
In his OP, Virgo specifically referred to a SUPERCHARGED engine in the CRUISE. Others have made the point that what he describes will indeed happen PROVIDED the pitch stop limits are not reached, and yet we are still being told what happens to turbocharged engines, and what happens on take off.
I only did 2,500 odd hours on Shackletons, which is not a lot compared to some people, but I recall only too well that on every check ride, an engine would be failed in the cruise (by the engineer cutting the fuel flow, on a signal from the checking Captain ) so that you had to go through the procedure I described in post #29.
May I suggest that before anyone else sounds off, they RTFQ, read the thread, and stick to answering the FQ.
