assumed temperature on owned aircraft and full thrust on leased aircraft?
I've been reading a lot on several threads about using:
assumed temperature and derates to save engine life
vs
full power for fuel savings
can anyone share any information regarding airline policy for these two concepts for leased aircraft vs. owned aircraft.
my assumption would be, if the aircraft is leased, you're on the clock paying for every additional second of aircraft use. why use a reduced thrust take off which will lead to increased flight time and fuel burn when the aircraft engine is not yours to save in the first place.
Keeping this in mind, is there any airline that has a policy to not bother with reduced thrust t/o for leased aircraft but to ensure reduced thrust on self owned aircraft.
Your inputs / criticism will be appreciated.
