Throttles opened for take -0ff
At 500 ft switch off reheats
At 1000ft select Climb Rating with the switches on the overhead panel
At M0.95 select reheats in pairs
At M1.7 switch off reheats
At 50,000ft select Cruise Rating on the switches on the overhead panel
Why the switches for climb and cruise ratings. What was being accomplished that modulation of the throttles couldn't. Which brings the question, why switches for the reheats rather than throttle aka military style?

When this thread is finished I think we should have the info necessary to retire to the back shed and knock one up. Keep it up Gents.
