We never do full power takeoffs even at max weight. A light weight take off is 45-50% and a max weight will be 55%.

In the event of an engine failure we also do not go to full power on the live engine, its 'power as required' and in a light load aircraft we generally don't need to add any. Fully loaded we might add 5%.
