spinningwings,
That's the whole point, 100% does not mean at 101% things go to worms, because the value used to ratio the 100% is an arbitrary number. the rotor on most Sikorsky helos has been taken to 125% in flight. Does that mean that we should reindex all gages so that we cruise at 80%, and max Nr is 100%? No it does not, because if we tell you to please not allow the oil pressure to get below 32 psi, you somehow learn to respect that odd number. Please treat the percent gauges as just markings of convenience, and don't allow previously held notions about 100% equaling some kind of limit to cloud your understanding. the red line is at a place, the needle is at another place. You are in charge of keeping them apart.
My daughters can easily spend 110% of their husband's salaries, so what's the problem?
