CLIMB PERFORMANCE
CLIMB POWER SETTING
Figure 8-8 presents
the climb maximum continuous thrust settings .
At
the start of the climb,
the thrust levers are moved to the Maximum
Continuous Thrust (MCT) position .
When airborne with the flaps up,
the
FADEC will determine the proper
maximum continuuous thrust
N1 and position the Ni bug
to that value . The N1 needle should
align
with the Ni bug .

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
Figure 8-9 shows time, distance
and fuel used to climb from
sea level
to altitude for standard
and off-standard days at
various weights . The
climb weight used is
the start-of-climb weight .
Subtraction of perfor-
mance values for
two altitudes results in
the time, distance and fuel
required for
climb between the two altitudes
.
The climb speed
schedule presented
with each table is based
upon an
operational
climb schedule to optimize
fuel consumption
and approx-
imates the best
rate-of-climb speeds
. The climb speeds
given are 250
KIASup to
32,000 feet and 0 .70 MI
above 32,000 feet .
Climb thrust is
maximum
continuous thrust
(MCT) .
