There are two big issues about this which make it a very bad “workaround”:
-
it throws off your expected fuel burn during taxi. During long taxis you will probably be short of fuel.
-
it completely throws off the performance take off calculation. At certain airports that have shorter runways the calculated thrust reduction needs to be disregarded and to/ga used instead to make it.
Unacceptable. This bug needs to be fixed asap.
