Airmanship???
Guys
Most pilots will not experience an engine failure during a career of thirty or fourty years.So are we saying that as we climb away after the event we are happy with less than 50% thrust even though we have increased drag from control deflections (and perhaps damage) ? Aimanship??
Reduced thrust is based on takeoff mass as shown on the load sheet.Load sheets are based on standard masses of humans and bags. During my B737 and A320 years I think the actual aircraft mass was often two or three tonnes higher than shown.
The manuals, company, flight crew training, etc etc vary and change.....so what do the people who build the aircraft think?
The Airbus 'Approved flight manual' (remember when these were carried onboard?) has limitations for use of reduced thrust. One of these is........when an engine fails during a reduced thrust departure TOGA shall be selected on the operating engine.
So engine failure, smooth selection of TOGA, trim then autopilot.
