My point is that there are no dragons beyond 20/25 degrees. It's not an upset and it's not dangerous. Most opinions are that exceeding 20/25 degrees pitch causes voodoo to happen. I'm just highlighting that it doesn't.

I'm required to carry out these take offs as part of an air test schedule but as we fly with standard line FOs we have to use standard procedures and there're other parameters to be monitored whilst at full power.

I accept that that isn't relevant to line ops and that I've strayed from the original topic but occasionally your line pilot will be asked to ferry or position an empty aircraft and may need to use full power. I think it's important to highlight that you won't fall out of the sky if you exceed 20 degrees and quite often it makes your day a lot easier if you do.
