Hi Mutt,
Thanks for the correction, it seems that I'm correct for the 'small picture' of the Takeoff in isolation, but didn't address the 'big picture' of the entire flight profile. I must admit that the OP's reference to 500 ft thrust vreduction altitude had me thinking that after 500 ft both scenarios are the same. No argument from me that a 'Thrust Reduced Climb' will cost more fuel. Best Regards, Old Smokey |

From memory, book figures show a 200kg saving to TOC for the 767 at intermediate weights using reduced T/O and clb thrust.
Grey matter is a bit dusty ..... last flew it in 2001.... but sure of figures. |

Right. But that's someone else's budget, so it doesn't concern you. :rolleyes: :} but if the engine blows during take-off, that becomes our (the pilots) major problem:}. |
