Idling ≤ 26%
1. Higher power limit and boost pressure behind the supercharger at take-off, Nominal I and II is not limited
2. 99.4% of the crankshaft rotational speed corresponds to 2900rpm
3. Time of continuous engine operation in the take-off regime must not exceed 5mins at peak rpm conditions are
1min at rest conditions
Maximum engine speed (rpm) 101%
Idling (26%) to take-off regime engine acceleration
capacity at V=0, H=0 does not exceed
3 seconds
Maximum over-speeding at acceleration application in
flight (duration does not exceed 1 second and time
during service life – 30 minutes)
109%
