Thumbs up

Most fixed wind operators reduce take off thrust to match the aircraft's performance to the field length/ WAT conditions. This is
to achieve longer TBOs for the engines. Works a treat and is an accepted SOP with known thrust decrements applied for each field and set of conditions. Wonder why the helicopter world hasn't come up with a simple reduced thrust reduction for given weights below max CAT A?
