Ok everyone, I agree with the whole 250/0.70 whichever is less in the climb. However take a look at our FOQA parameters:

The FOQA Monitoring Team looks at a variety of events such as the following:
• Excessive Taxi Thrust (>41% N1 Dual Engine / >51% N1 Single Engine)
• Climb Speeds < 250 Knots above 10,000 feet and < Mach .70 above FL280• High Descent Rates (> -5000 feet per minute at all altitudes / > -3000 feet per minute during approach)
• Flap Overspeeds
• Flaps < 45 degrees / Thrust Reversers not armed / Gear not down by 1000 feet on approach
• Vref deviation at threshold / High or Low landing speeds
• Hard Landings (> 1.45G)
• Excessive Reverse Thrust (>30% N1 below 60 knots for > 8 seconds)



What is up with that?
