normal operation of the airplane.
General conditions:
The following conditions apply to all the tables in this subsection:
-
Landing gear and flaps UP,
-
BLEED switch on AUTO,
-
represents the ISA conditions at the flight level.
The torque must be set properly based on flight level and OAT.
NOTE
During normal operation, the power settings are defined by the FADEC to
maintain ITT below 840 °C.
Example, for conditions:
-
FL = 260,
-
OAT = -22 °C,
-
Inertial separator OFF,
-
P2.5 HI
and
P3
messages OFF.
The tables in ths subsection give the maximum torque to be set.
Maximum climb power:
TRQ setting = 82% for IAS = 124 KIAS – see
.
Maximum cruise power:
TRQ setting = 94% – see
