Enjoy the feeling of cutting engines when you pull to above 114%, just when you need them most.
That is likely going to show your superior airmanship, rather than...you know.
If you are having to pull above 110% a lot I think you may want to change your planning a little. If I know that I need 110, and I go to 114 I am still on the upside. You may want to know your equipment and pull to the limiter one time, it maintains power, it does not fall down as I gather you are thinking. I am still above the 110 I had planned. It is a great tool for new pilots that are afraid of overtorque, it gets them to pull required power. It is also great for demonstrating left pedal impact at 110% tq, and again we differ, I think it is a great use of the system. As far as my superior airmanship glad you were so observant!
Not looking to dictate policy, as I said previously if you do not want to use it Great...just don't pass judgement on others for what you have mandated as correct. Kind of like 102...many say for Cat A only, wrong and again we went as far as Augusta on this due to siminstructors saying it is forbidden. There are times when not in Cat A procedure it is advantageous. Use it...
