Takeoff perfomance

Hi Nick!

The aircraft manual talks about Static Takeoff Power and, according to it, I noticed that it's never recommended to take off with 100% torque. However, the Black Square manual says that the power should be 100%. Where did this information come from?

100% torque is the absolute limit of the engines and is maximum power. It is suitable for takeoff. But if you apply 100% torque while stationary you’ll have to retract the power lever as the airplane speeds up since the torque increases with speed of the airplane. That’s why it says that on top of the diagram. Thats why maximum static torque is 95%.

Hope that makes sense

Thank you for clarifying that mention in the manual. I really didn't notice that detail!
