@@MindSpaceXAviation yes I'll surely join. I have been through your website and it's amazing

It is a good question. We cover this is the full lesson on Reduced Power Takeoff. Because the Flex Temp takeoff procedure calculates the engine performance much closer to the 'operationally needed' thrust value (this gives the greatest savings), there is not a great deal of excess thrust in case it is needed. That tis why TOGA is always available but this will require the pilots to manually set TOGA and the engines to spool up. With a contaminated runway the lack of takeoff performance could be realised too late by the pilots and time be insufficient for TOGA, even after being applied. For a Derate takeoff the thrust is reduced by a certain percentage, established from an operational point of view (not pilot determined). This reduction has a much great margin to the 'operationally needed' thrust value. But because the TOGA detent is used on the trust levers to set Derated power, full power TOGA is not available and for that reason many operators choose not to imply it. I hope this helped.

In the full lesson on Derated Power Takeoff we cover in details the difference between; Flex T/O, Derated T/O and Fixed Speed T/O procedures. Check it out at academy.mindspacex.com

Hi Colin, that is very interesting. I will dig in and find you an answer 👌🏼

Hi Akeel, Great questions.. let me try and clarify. 1. Actual TOW is used to determine the flex temp value for the given takeoff yes. However if you choose to do a normal takeoff using TOGA power then the power generated by the engines is based on EGT limits and is not related to weight. Whether you are light or heavy, using TOGA will give you the same thrust. The takeoff performance of course will be greatly dependent on your weight but the amount of thrust produced is the same. When using TOGA the thrust generated is a function of the density outside. 2. You are correct. The "assumed" temperature used for flex represents the temperature where TOGA power would be available.

Really sorry to hear that. We were not aware but will investigate immediately. Could you please send us a screenshot of the error to info@mindspacex.com?

@@MindSpaceXAviation Sure .. I will send it today..

Hi, Thank you for the comment. We are always looking to improve the material we deliver. Can you be more specific? Is it the sound level? Or the spoken English? Or the speed of speech?

@@MindSpaceXAviation It's the sound, way too many low tones with barely any highlights so the speech sounds kinda mushy.

Thank you. We are aware of this and are currently looking for professional assistance to “optimize” the audio and enhance the quality.

@@MindSpaceXAviation Great news! There is a free program called Audacity that I use from time to time to enhance and clean up sound. Let me know when the video is re-released and I'll watch it then.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. We need this! While I have noticed the volume is a bit low, it seems to be an individual issue. We are however working on upgrading the clip(s) to reflect awesome sound without distorting the quality.

New clip available. See here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bwlTS3-q7vo.html
