Thank you for your feedback.

well... on the current turboprops reduced takeoffs are not approved, but on my previous bae146 time we used reduced takeoffs whenever possible, lets say 90% of the flights.
Aerobat77, why on the (or your) current turboprops reduced takeoffs are not approved?

Some places (like MEX, JNB, GRU) also use an Aft C of G optimisation technique to maximise RTOW and gain payload.
TopBunk, can you please tell me about this optimisation technique?

Are you asking Airline pilots or Corporate/charter pilots? Big difference...the 'why' is where the meat of the discussion lies.
kanetoads, I am asking all pilots who use reduced and full takeoff thrust.

A reduced takeoff thrust may increase the airplane-to-ground noise level as result of a lower flight path.
If certain airports have some noise restrictions, do you use reduced takeoff thrust or full takeoff thrust?

Feedback appreciated.
