Narrative:
We were on an FAA route check. As we taxed and completed our checklists, I requested a reduced power setting as SOP for our operation. The first officer pulled a figure incorrectly from our performance manual and we used it. The FAA inspector informed us of an error at our destination. The error was a simple oversight by the first officer. It should have been 98 percent instead of 89 percent. I may have been able to prevent this by reviewing the reduced power procedure with the first officer before our trip. Suggest emphasizing with the training department how important accuracy is if reduced power takeoffs are performed.

Title: WRONG REDUCED PWR SETTING SELECTED FROM MANUAL, THEN USED FOR TKOF.
Narrative: WE WERE ON AN FAA RTE CHK. AS WE TAXED AND COMPLETED OUR CHKLISTS, I REQUESTED A REDUCED PWR SETTING AS SOP FOR OUR OP. THE FO PULLED A FIGURE INCORRECTLY FROM OUR PERFORMANCE MANUAL AND WE USED IT. THE FAA INSPECTOR INFORMED US OF AN ERROR AT OUR DEST. THE ERROR WAS A SIMPLE OVERSIGHT BY THE FO. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 98 PERCENT INSTEAD OF 89 PERCENT. I MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PREVENT THIS BY REVIEWING THE REDUCED PWR PROC WITH THE FO BEFORE OUR TRIP. SUGGEST EMPHASIZING WITH THE TRAINING DEPT HOW IMPORTANT ACCURACY IS IF REDUCED PWR TKOFS ARE PERFORMED.
