Real World Herk crews,

1. I see from an old Air Force Technical Order that the standard takeoff flap setting is 50%. Is this always the case? Does it change with payload?

2. In the Performance appendix of the T.O, specifically the CLIMB charts, it refers to MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS climb power. Is this Maximum setting just firewalling the throttles or is it limited to T.I.T? Torque? Both?

Thanks!
