Firewall an NG - what do you get
I was just told by a reliable source that if you "firewalled" a 737 NG you got the maximum rated thrust for that engine. That is - even though you had a 24K Engine - whether it was derated at the time or not - if you "firewall" it - you get the maximum thrust, which on the current model CFM56-7B is 27 K (I think).
This is a very misunderstood issue with many pilots - including - yours truly. Therefore I would like a reply from those that have accurate and complete knowledge of this subject - not from reading the Ops Man II, or what you heard happened on the 300 - which I understand is different.
I'm assuming 15C Temp and sealevel - I hope that my question if clear - if not I'll do my best to refine it.
Thanks for any info - I got a bottle of wine riding on this
