747 engine takeoff power
I have a question for anyone familiar with flying the 747-200.
According to news stories in the media reporting the crash of a MK Airlines 747-200 freighter at Halifax Canada awhile ago, the investigators found that the airspeed was some 55 kph low. It was noted that the engines had been operated at a power 'inconsistent with the a/c weight' (as if the engines are normally operated at a power governed by the a/c weight during takeoff). Is this true for this a/c? I've never heard of this. Any a/c that I'm familiar with certainly don't modulate takeoff power according to their weight. Is it done on the 747? -- -Gord.
