How times change.
Thanks John. What you have said is pretty much similar to a procedure for the aircraft in type in the event of a windshear encounter(although there is an automatic windshear recovery system for the aircraft allowing the FD to command appropriate pitch and can be followed by the autopilot) but lets not get distracted by a microburst windshear here. Just a way to get more thrust which could be desired for other reasons as well.
Maybe I am getting caught up in words here, I'm just not sure what Maximum Available Thrust is with THR REF indicated. Max takeoff, max continuous, full climb thrust, CLB 1, CLB 2. Maybe I'll just try a second TO/GA push in the sim.
