Thanks, Brian,
That explains what at first seemed at first a grossly simplified and arbitrary conversion.
The moment it's only used for take-off, to work out the correction needed for residual jet thrust from a turboprop, it makes sense.
No need to apply rocket science and calculate it to the last 0.1%
