Cool

Hi,

You with me? It has been suggested that when TOGA was selected later in the event chain, nose pitched up more due to how planes like this fly.
At the altitude where was the plane .. with the throttle setting he have (before the PA disconnect) I suppose the difference of push by the engines will be minimal when throttles set to TOGA .. and so the nose up effect will be no significant
I understand that at low altitude a TOGA set will produce a significant nose up ...... not at high altitude.
