Narrative:

On initial power runup (from ramp after start taxi out), 1.2 EPR was momentarily used to start the aircraft moving. The aircraft was at maximum takeoff weight. A truck was almost blown over according the ground operations. The ground crew had given us the wave off, signalling it was clear around the aircraft. 1.2 EPR had to be used to get the aircraft moving. The manufacturer recommends not exceeding 1.2 EPR. To avoid this in the future, I will insist that the ground crew push us farther from the terminal and make sure the tail is pointed away from all aircraft and vehicles.

Title: A DEP ACR LGT ALMOST BLOWS A PARKED TRUCK OVER DURING HIS RAMP DEP. CAPT SAYS HE USED MAX RECOMMENDED EPR FOR INITIAL TAXI OP. ACFT WAS AT MAX GROSS WT.

Narrative: ON INITIAL PWR RUNUP (FROM RAMP AFTER START TAXI OUT), 1.2 EPR WAS MOMENTARILY USED TO START THE ACFT MOVING. THE ACFT WAS AT MAX TKOF WT. A TRUCK WAS ALMOST BLOWN OVER ACCORDING THE GND OPS. THE GND CREW HAD GIVEN US THE WAVE OFF, SIGNALLING IT WAS CLR AROUND THE ACFT. 1.2 EPR HAD TO BE USED TO GET THE ACFT MOVING. THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS NOT EXCEEDING 1.2 EPR. TO AVOID THIS IN THE FUTURE, I WILL INSIST THAT THE GND CREW PUSH US FARTHER FROM THE TERMINAL AND MAKE SURE THE TAIL IS POINTED AWAY FROM ALL ACFT AND VEHICLES.
