Thrust Lapse Rate

Hi there I was wondering if anyone could help me interpret this engine data provided in the link below please?

http://www.bh.com/companions/0340741...-4/default.htm

I'm interested in the Tay 651 on the far right side. I'm not sure how to interpret the thrust lapse rate with altitude since the units aren't provided. What I'm trying to do is be able to find the thrust output for a given altitude and speed so I'd need the thrust lapse rate to cover the variation with altitude but I'm not sure about how to cover the speed relationship. It needn't be exact, just an approximate one would do thanks. From my first inspection it would appear to impact severely though looking at the quoted figures for climb thrust and sea level static thrust. Could someone also explain the term flat rating please?

Thanks very much for your time
