Thanks for the response!
I will try it out as described. I thought that about 90% of thrust is a healthy thing not to exceed, but if you say so, I am happy to push it to the
limit.
But what max. thrust do you recomend for older planes (with less sophisticated power management systems) such as DC-9-30 or
B727? I read about the 727 for example, that we should never exceed 90% N1, though I found that it is within the acceptable range of the
EPR. So my question is: which is the more important element, the N1 percentage or the EPR and temperature restrictions?
Thanks in advance...
