Hi XPMorten, that's -200, isn'it?

I'm asking about CLASSICS here, but thanks anyway for your reply.

Hi Chris, yes I carefully checked the training manual also before opening this thread, but it seems to me there is still a lack of a clear and official LIMIT.

And I'm not intersted in passenger comfort here, I'd like to know if pulling FULLY AFT on the levers we get an overboost or if the system is designed so as to limit thrust within the maximum allowable.

The manual states: "Conditions permitting, limit reverse thrust to the number 2 detent."

But it doesn't say WHY.

Is that for passenger comfort? long term engine life? or is that an engine limit?


Also, "The PM should monitor engine operating limits and call out any operational limits being approached or exceeded, any thrust reverser failure, or any other abnormalities."

What are these limits exactly? Are they referring to the 106% N1, 105% N2, 930 EGT?

You see, my question is not so dumb, after all...

Yesterday our Go around N1 was about 93%.... far from the 106% ENGINE LIMITATION.

So, once again, has anybody got a definite answer?
Thankyou.

Ps: intersted to hear about NG also...
