T/O thrust on B777
I am puzzled by the B777 T/O thrust vs Climb thrust question...
On the last 2 occasions that I have flown with a major carrier on the B777 (with a full load of pax and 7 hr sector lengths), at acceleration altitude, Climb Thrust has resulted in an INCREASE in thrust...
My understanding is that de-rated Take Off thrust should never be less that Climb Thrust???
Can an Op please explain...Is this a normal performance practice on the B777?
