Engine Operation
The
following
tables
or/and the optimum torque indicator must be used during
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 OA
T
.
NOTE
During normal operation, the power settings are defined by the FADEC to
maintain ITT below 840 °C.
Example, for conditions:
-
FL = 260,
-
OA
T = -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 Table 5.8.3.
Maximum cruise power:
TRQ setting = 94% – see Table 5.8.21.
