"My only query is how on earth Boeing FCTM comes up with typical engine out pitch guidance of 12 degrees (2 to 3 degrees less than normal) for initial setting. Anything more than about 8 and its good bye V2 for the 787 and similarly 10 for the 777"
I wonder if that statement relates to a MAX PWR takeoff? 12 degrees for MAX PWR, 10 degrees for derated takeoff?
