Dunno why they dont use 100% throttle for nominal power (1.32 Ata 2400 RPM) and 110% throttle for emergency power ( 1.42 Ata 2700 RPM).

For example Bf 109 G with DB605A had initialy blocked engine power only for nominal 1.3 Ata then in 1943 they unblocked it for emegergency power 1.42 Ata.

But other hand derated BMW 801 D still had emergency power ( it had just different power settings then full rated 801):

Derated BMW 801D
Nominal power - 1.28 Ata 2350 RPM
Emergency power - 1.35 Ata 2450 RPM


Full rated
Nominal power - 1.32 Ata 2400 RPM
Emergency power - 1.42 Ata 2700 RPM
