OK Let me clarify what I said. My first post was how to trim in optimum situation in EFATO which is TOGA. I did not say it is mandatory. Flex take off obviously meets certification requirements. As far as Airbus is concerned they ask you to consider TOGA. If you read my statement again it is not offensive but in favour of line pilot's realities of life. Early morning flight, lack of sleep, late night flight may be 5th take off, extreme tiredness these are not the conditions in which test flights are done. So in these conditions when you are faced with once in a life time event you would like to insure a yourself with a bit more. If you are one of those whose flying is perfect 365 days anytime and every time then my apologies my advise was not meant for you. Derate is a different matter we were not discussing that. Just like flex is certified TOGA power is also certified for use any time you want.
