The real performance data varies to the extreme, what we setup in the E is 280 KTAS, you can find that value on the Nav panel on the TAS indicator.  On the H is around 300 KTAS same location.  Have fun.

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.

PS/ values are for -15 engines.

Great info here.   Thats exactly what our 130's here do.  Now that is for the -15 model engines.  Anyone know if this model is configured for -7 or -15 model engines.

if its -7 the peak TIT range would be 961 - 977 oC
