How many inches one TL must be above idle to "transmit" to the engine the info to accelerate?
Quick answer, this is a two cases scenario :
- A/THR OFF Engine output proportional to thrust lever displacement (very much conventional)
- A/THR ON Engine output can be anywhere between idle and climb thrust as long as the thrust lever is not at the idle stop. As an example , one thrust lever could be only half an inch above idle stop and the engine could deliver as much as climb thrust (very unconventional)
