Downwind,
I was told of an EPR vs TAT rule of thumb for climb and a 48-52 ton EPR setting for cruise using FL, TAT and desired Mach speed... Forgot what they were though... Did you hear anything similar? Tried it on the type Sim a few years back and it worked... somehow... Gotta love these rules of thumb... Like XNM to slow down from Y kts to Z kts, and the 55%N1, 60%N1 for I think it was 220 and 240Kts prior to slowing down to approach... And then the standard "drop like a brick then float down like a leaf" method all the way to 1000' AGL when on a tight alt from 10k ft above the field... LOL! (Throw pax comfort out da window!)
