Hello,

in the HAF we are trained to:

Take off @ takeoff TIT (1067-1083 oC), not to exceed 19600 inlb torque. Rolling and de-rated thrust takeoffs are an option for the AC

Climb is @ 180 kias to 10000ft, 170 kias to 15000 ft, 160 kias to 25000 ft. Higher than that, the FE has to dig the charts.

Cruise is done @ 290 KTAS. That will require around 900-930 oC TIT (the FE will provide the exact figure prior to leveling off at cruise alt). We (almost) never cruise @ TIT higher than 931 oC.

Initial descents are done with torque set @ 5000 inlb.

Best regards,
