Full throttle height (also referred to as "Critical Altitude") is the height at which any increase in altitude will see a reduction in manifold pressure, airflow through the engine and brake horse power. The altitude is specific to a particular MAP and RPM combination, and will be specified for a particular condition ie maximum rated power, maximum cruise power, maximum combat power etc
