Question 29

What phase of flight (Takeoff, Cruise, Approach) should aircrews ‘mostly’ consider settling-with-power while executing formation flight?

Given the performance scenario in Question 3, what MPD page should be displayed and monitored by the P during the takeoff? (Alt over asp tx flight given marginal power available)

Answer 43

If available engine power is marginal and the possibility exists of exceeding a limit, the crew should have an A/C ENG page selected and the P should monitor and announce impending performance limiters.

Question 44

Given the performance scenario in Question 3, how long may the aircraft be operated with 94% DE TQ applied?

Answer 44

The DE MTA, 10-minute limit of 94% equates to 879°C (no wind); therefore, ​the crew may apply 94% for up to 10 minutes, after which an exceedance will be recorded to the DMS FAULT Page.
