@Snowy thankfully you'd see it coming!

Hell yes. Been caught in the "just wind" version. A relatively light A340 going into Hong Kong at TOGA thrust a few hundred feet above the runway, all four engines screaming. We had nothing. Just reducing airspeed. Scary.

Then you come out the other side, after the go around, and all hell breaks loose trying to contain climb rate to assigned altitude and not overspeed.

CB's suck, and there is one right above my head as I type.

@Snowy That's the good thing about afterburners, you don't often run out of thrust due to weather.

Being an inefficient based on a LL mud mover engineat height and trying to keep you rate/G/climb high, sure. Weather not so much

No you wouldn't - just fuel.

Which is the ultimate loss of thrust.

@Snowy it's only ~700kg per minute...
