Power settings 31A

[Lear60Guy]

Will somebody post for me the average power settings for the LR-31A for things like an approach etc.? Thanks in advance.

You can usually set it about 60% N1 that will give you speed to change flap settings and once you set in the next notch of flaps it will slow you to your next needed speed. Usually needs very little power adjustment from there. Using about 61 - 62% will keep you at Ref on the glidepath. Curious to see what others find useful

The above is pretty much right on... I would add that about 72% N1 will give you 250 kts. in level flight and power at idle with a 2500 ft./min. descent set in VS mode will give you 250 kts. in the descent.

I second.

55% or so will give ya 170 kts in a clean config...

Fuel Flow settings

If you set your power via fuel flows - 500lbs a side will give you 200kts, 650lbs a side will give you 250kts and about 800lbs a side will give you 300kts. 70ish% N1's on approach with flaps and gear is a good ref +5 speed.
