But in this case, the TAT is different only because of the difference in Mach, right? The actual OAT would be the same, wouldn't it?

Yes... I'll have to look at this in the charts and see what I can find...

Girlfriend outta town bigD?

LOL...actually no. She was over last night doing some studying for finals. When she saw me looking at the performance tables, she said:

"You know, you have 3 finals this coming Saturday, and you're sitting there studying up on an airplane that you don't even fly. You need to submit yourself to that dorky pilot's thread you're always laughing about!"

I'm glad to see you guys are making good use of the reading material I gave you!

LOL!!!!!!!!

My understanding is that the power levers acually govern N2, but N2 and N1 are aerodynamically coupled such that N2 is simply produces the desired N1 setting....

Well, actually, the power levers control fuel metering to the engines (via engine computers). More fuel means more fire. More fire means the turbines spin faster. The faster the turbines spin the faster the Compressors (N2) and Fan (N1) spin (since they are directly connected to those turbines).

Here's how it really works:

You set the Speed Selector to Mach .82 (or whatever you like). The resulting fuel flow is fed into the FMS. The FMS will now tell you if you have enough fuel to get where you are going!

PERFORMANCE CHARTS? What are those?

Hey bigD,

I looked at the charts too. On the "All engine operating chart, long range cruise" for a PA of 39,000 feet at 47,000 lbs, I come up with this:

• IND. MACH: 0.765
• NM/lb: 0.1839
• TAT (deg C): -32
• TAS (kt): 436
• N1 (%): 96.9
• FF (lb/hr): 750

On the "All engine operating chart, Ind. Mach 0.77" for a PA for 39,000 feet at 47,000 lbs, I come up with this:

• IND. MACH: 0.770
• NM/lb: 0.1923
• TAT (deg C): -31
• TAS (kt): 439
• N1 (%): 97.2
• FF (lb/hr): 760

I think you just looked at the chart for Ind. Mach 0.77 and PA of 35,000 feet, which gives you the 92.6% N1 setting.

Now this makes more sense.... I think Dyslexia may have come in play... Now enough with this airplane non-sense, how about some BBQ talk?!?!?!!??!

Maybe I misread the chart, Fly, but I swear I double checked it about a thousand times! I'm at work now though, so I can't check it again at present...I'll look again when I get home.

I'm looking at the Normal Procedures Checklist from FlightSafety, for what it's worth.

MMMM. Dry rubbed, or wet?

 

[bigD]

Ah - that makes more sense, FlyChicaga. I should have double checked the numbers against the operator's manual. Sorry guys!

As for dry rubbed or wet, I've had good and bad BBQ both ways.

I love the way Coopers does their BBQ. You pick a slab of meat from their pit, and they dip it in a paint bucket full of their sauce. Then drop the slab of meat onto a tray for you to take inside. By the time they've cut up the meat, weighed it, and given it back to you, the sauce has been soaked up, and it's just perfect.

Mmmmm.....I need to go to Coopers soon!

Flight Safety is notoroious for typos in their checklists and performance tab data.....

As far as BBQ, I think I perfer dry-rub....

But all BBQ is good, having some Brazilian BBQ for lunch today! MMmmm MMmmm!

Well crap - they spend enough money making the checklists LOOK good, they need to invest a little to ensure some accuracy. Real pilots probably don't use them anyway, but it'd prevent you guys from being bothered by dumb questions from me!

Brazilian BBQ? Hmmm...can't say I've ever had that. Sounds good!

OMG! for a while, I thought dry rubbed, or wet meant something rated XXX..... whew!!!

 

[Timebuilder]

Now you've made me hungry!

 

[bigD]

Looks like I need to head up to Dallas for some BBQ, Capt! Man, that looks good.

You're close.

Good Bar B Que is VERY pleasurable!!!!

 

[crash-proof]

Brazilian BBQ s where it's at, you haven't lived if you haven't tried one. Down here in south FL you'll find plenty of 'em.

Hmmmm...I think i got my plans made for this weekend

 

[bigD]

Jeebus...I could really go for some BBQ right now. Maybe I'll get some tomorrow. I've taken two finals today already, and still have another one to go...from 7pm until 1AM IN THE F*CKING MORNING. My professor can bite my nut sack for giving us a final of that length, on a friggin Saturday night no less!

Sorry for the rant. I needed to vent.

Gotta think good thoughts. Mmmmm.....BBQ....
