A really nice first posting on the this network Well thought out and logically put.
By all accounts you know the Electra well.
No insult to freightdoggy but being a loadmaster can understand the limited info that he/she may possess about deboosting the Allison 501 D13 engine. But you as a "pilot??" must have first hand experience of this procedure. Could you explain this to me and whether the TD amp system should be in the controlled or locked phase.
As for the two crewmen I salute the progress made from FE to pilot. The captain is an FE TRE you state Who does he check and where. I assume on the sim at coventry. How does he do his line check? Moves from the LHS and sits in the centre one during flight maybe!
Your first post raises so many questions I dearly hope you as a pilot can enlighten me
PS Do you know what props the aircraft had Hamilton or aero products apparently these is an easy way to tell so I have been told
