@We8City It does scare some people since it seems like the engines are shutting down, and I know I replied late but maybe you'll read it. The reason is that the pilots set the engines from T/O (TAKEOFF) THRUST TO CLB (CLIMB) THRUST which reduces unnecessary power and preserves engine life.

And I see the workers aren't wearing their anti-ingestion lanyards.
-
the pilot needs power but not as much because it's in the air so he might decrease the power slightly.
-
step in front of it, see what happens

@We8City They do that to save gas because they dont need takeoff thrust to climb.
-
@We8City has the plane leveled off?
-
@88mroux Oh. Lucky.
-
@MusicLover11325 No, i've seen it up a closer before when the engines were facing the sun. they do run clockwise instead of counter clockwise.
-
@We8City Engines will overheat N1 must reduce to about 80%. And speed is already exeeded it's limits about 250KTS under 10,000ft

@88mroux Or is it just your mind/eyes fooling you?
Anybody know why, shortly after take off the RB 211's noise seems to drop off? Is it because they are not running on full power any longer? This shit my Mrs up last time we went on a 757 she thought the engines werent working!
