Narrative:
During climb ECAM: engine 1 system fault. Engine 1 egt indicating approximately 100 degree hotter than engine 2 bordering egt limit. Limited engine 1 thrust in order to keep egt within limits. Informed ATC and updated controller of performance decrease resulting in a slow climb. [We] informed maintenance control and dispatch of condition. I assumed flying duties during landing.share experience and aviation knowledge of abnormal conditions that may require some alterations to procedures. In this case I determined engine 1 egt was approaching limits. I pulled engine 1 thrust lever back limiting thrust keeping engine 1 within egt limits. There was no ECAM and/or follow up guidance. I exercised command authority based on knowledge and experience. I want both engines running as long as within limits even though operating in a degraded condition (limited thrust from engine 1).
