Maybe takeoffs on icy runways with high gusty crosswinds should see manual final power settings. That way crews don't get surprised if the autothrottles set a mis match.
But maybe I'm wrong on that. What do you guys think?
I don't take off on icy runways with high gusty crosswinds. I have FCOM limitations that prevent me from doing this.
My main issue when I operate from slippery runways, is to make sure both engines accelerate the same. Getting both engines properly stabilized before pressing TOGA works for me. I think I will notice an engine stall even if I use TOGA.
Slow spools? I suspect some of you guys are more used to older generation engines?
No offense, of course
