NADP1 in Europe. What altitude do you reduce to CL thrust?
I've now had three different pilots tell me that in Europe you cannot have your thrust reduction altitude below 1500' AGL. NADP1 obviously allows thrust reduction anywhere above 800', and I haven't found anything in the Jepps text pages or airport noise abatement procedures to the contrary. However many airport pages have fancy noise monitoring equipment descriptions and big fines so maybe it's a performance thing?
Love to hear from anyone flying widebodies - especially A330s - in Europe: what altitude do you do your thrust reduction at?
