Lots of pilots don't understand what EPR or N1 as a thrust setting parameter actually means beyond a textbook/ exam answer definition. N1 goes up in the climb, why? exactly. Why is EPR indicative of thrust, precisely? I've met people with 10000+ hours that have no idea. "it just does what i expect it to do" Yet these people still expect six figure salaries??
