If so this would reinforce my belief that EPR isn't a valuable tool for pilots to use.
I don't understand how you can say that and claim to sit in the front right hand corner.
It's another engine parameter - would you prefer just one gauge showing N1 and hide all the rest?
It's brilliant for confirming whether or not you actually do have take off thrust, and very simple for setting a good approximate approach power, even if you have an engine out as Meikleour explained in post #12.
