Al are you even a pilot ? A stupid statement " a good pilot would never trust EPR for T/O " Prior to Air Florida that was the primary takeoff setting for most all airlines. Because of that acident it changed to primary N1 & N2 for T/O power settings. It has nothing to do with being good or bad. It depends on your trng. dept & SOP. Oh, by the way, don't forget American Airlines glycol truck had a mix of 85/15 water to glycol mix. There is more to this accident than you understand.

GLYN you apparently didn't read the post very carefully. If your not developing T/O power you should never go into the ground with the P/L retarded because of the gauges. I am a Pilot and an A&P who has questioned alot about many incidents including Flt 90. This business needs to talk openly about it's experiences without thinking about your "feelings".
