For that guys that mentioned is was a little on the under powered side I'm just wondering which model you flew? I flew the 72-212 which had the bigger engines but also had time in the 215(I think that was the model number). Anyway, both models had 2450 SHP with a RTO of 2700ish. With the power management at TO you'd hit 90ish% TQ, but once you switched to climb mode the power management would keep the TQ right at 100%.
Someone said about how you only used about 80% of the engines. I recall once in the 42 and once in the 72 having to firewall the engines due to windshear.........seeing 125% TQ and the engines just wanting to rip the wings off was somethin else!!!!! Nice to have the power when you need it. Never understood why RJ's didn't have that.
