'Sled
MY GUESS (emphahsis) is that when you look at the AFM its goin to give you a max temp you can run at. I would bet you will temp out before fanning out.
Why would you run less?
to save fuel?
I am a believer that time is money. I have heard guys tell thier boss they are running it a bit slower to save money on gas.....great way to limit yourself in corp aviation I believe.
The only differ I HAVE heard from this is from Garrett (or whoever that is now)....I have heard them come out with max rec. -20 degress (for example) to "prolong engine life" on their POS 731's. I say if it cant run at what the #'s say you have a problem - fix it. I dont know how this relates to the EEC engines.
Of course if thats your concern one call to them could get you the real scoop....
Best Bet: trade that farkin' dinosaur in on a fadec/Autothrottle equipped new ride!!!.....ah, in a perfect world...
.....
PS - having flown those EEC equipped 731's. I always thought there was little perf info on them. I was never taught much....just let it do its work....nobody seemed to have much support for these...or maybe I was too lazy to look for it. More likely the later...
