Narrative:

The aircraft lift dumper system was placarded inoperative. This increases the distances required for lndgs or aborts. Outside air temperature was 29 degrees C and target maximum power EPR was 1.71. I was the captain and the PNF. On takeoff at the autothrottle declutch, the #1 engine was 1.68 EPR and the #2 was 1.69. I manually advanced the throttles. Above 100 KIAS the MFDU displayed computed maximum EPR dropped to 1.70. #2 engine was 1.70 and 1.71 EPR and #1 was 1.69. I again manually advanced the #1 throttle. By the time I recognized the throttle was hard against the forward stop the airspeed was rapidly approaching V1. I deemed it safer to continue the takeoff .01 EPR below maximum power than to perform a no lift dumper high speed abort. Takeoff was completed normally. I briefed the first officer on the problem after the sterile period was over. I entered the problem in the maintenance log and had the engine checked at the next point of landing.

Title: FK10 CREW WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN RATED THRUST ON TKOF ROLL FROM #2 ENG.

Narrative: THE ACFT LIFT DUMPER SYS WAS PLACARDED INOP. THIS INCREASES THE DISTANCES REQUIRED FOR LNDGS OR ABORTS. OUTSIDE AIR TEMP WAS 29 DEGS C AND TARGET MAX PWR EPR WAS 1.71. I WAS THE CAPT AND THE PNF. ON TKOF AT THE AUTOTHROTTLE DECLUTCH, THE #1 ENG WAS 1.68 EPR AND THE #2 WAS 1.69. I MANUALLY ADVANCED THE THROTTLES. ABOVE 100 KIAS THE MFDU DISPLAYED COMPUTED MAX EPR DROPPED TO 1.70. #2 ENG WAS 1.70 AND 1.71 EPR AND #1 WAS 1.69. I AGAIN MANUALLY ADVANCED THE #1 THROTTLE. BY THE TIME I RECOGNIZED THE THROTTLE WAS HARD AGAINST THE FORWARD STOP THE AIRSPD WAS RAPIDLY APCHING V1. I DEEMED IT SAFER TO CONTINUE THE TKOF .01 EPR BELOW MAX PWR THAN TO PERFORM A NO LIFT DUMPER HIGH SPD ABORT. TKOF WAS COMPLETED NORMALLY. I BRIEFED THE FO ON THE PROB AFTER THE STERILE PERIOD WAS OVER. I ENTERED THE PROB IN THE MAINT LOG AND HAD THE ENG CHKED AT THE NEXT POINT OF LNDG.
