would you care to explain what do you mean with meto/mcp

My humble apologies - often one tends to forget that one's familiar jargon is not necessarily generic.

METO - maximum (power) except for takeoff
MCP - maximum continuous power

.. same sort of limit consideration as MCT = maximum continuous thrust.

The limit for continuous operation, albeit with a longer term maintenance cost impost .. ie, not to be used routinely or capriciously but, if you need it, use it.
