Reduced thrust takeoffs

[G4G5]

yup, my box knows all.....just ask her.

I did

 

[Gulfstream 200]

I did

DOH!!!!! --- wiseass..

Give it up for G200, everybody! He'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip the staff... TC

P.S.--I'm about the only one who does FLEX in my dept. I guess we don't keep them till overhaul anyway.

You left out the part about two shows on Wednesdays and Sundays

For those of you with alittle extra cash, I am available for weddings and bar mitzvahs.

EVERY takeoff is a reduced thrust takeoff in a Falcon.

ESPECIALLY the Falcon 20! I don't think I ever went through so many pairs of underwear than when I was flying the Falcon 20 with GE's!

ahhh....he was referring to Gulstream 200.

Cessna unfortunately doesn't provide numbers for flex (at least not for the Citation 500 series). We pull the power off from takeoff thurst passing 200'/V2 +10

we will forgive G4G5, he spends a lot of time cramped in a little tube....

 

[AA717driver]

G4G5 and "little tube" in the same sentence? OUCH! TC

Thanks guys. I have looked at the reduced thrust t/o chart on the Falcon 50 but have never used it. Doesn't sound like anyone else has either.

I fly with one guy in a Westwind who won't go past the minimum N1, if he reaches that, and panics when I push it to the stops. I keep it within Temp and other engine limits. We have the DEECS. There are no published reduced power takeoff minimums, although one instructor I had used to say that you only add a certain percentage to the takeoff roll, based on his experience. My philosophy is to stick with the AFM and if under JSSI, who cares. If one captain uses full power and the other reduced power, what are you gaining? The other important thing to remember is, runway behind you is useless.

Falcon 2000, no data for reduced power take-offs. The Fokker does and we use it as much as possible. When you meet the conditions for using FLEX, you can reduce to 75% of rated power. The GV, if I remember correctly, has a fixed FLEX of 75% rated power and the pilot can not change that.

WOW, look who woke up? I thought maybe you got shanked in the yard, for punchin' it one too many times?

 

[pilotyip]

G 200 that is not true, why last week I made a full power take off in DA-20, I had to the engine heat was on, 1.49 EPR, screaming machine, airplane not pilots. The DA-20 is a mans' airplane, it only flies because of the guy in the seat, non of this wimpy FMS, autopilot, air conditioning, GPS, strobes, TCAS, or EGPWS. Real men learn to fly the DA-20 first.

I've flown with guy like that. It Eats me alive. The Computer (DEECS) are much smarter than any of us unless that Engine Computer light is on.
