Just put our Early '80's C-550 in for the first Hot Section since we've owned it. As it already looks like it's going into the six figures, our DOM thinks we are running it too hard. We use the performance numbers from the book, minus half a percent so that we don't have to worry too much about it exceeding while we're not paying attention.
Question is, does anyone use power settings other than book settings to "go easy" on the engines? I'm still using all of it for take off, but wonder if there are other techniques to preserve turbofans.
