Yes and that is why the POH provides a range of static values with a 100 + RPM spread between the highest and lowest permissible RPM. An engine developing full power will fall in that range under any conditions likely to be encountered

My next question is not meant to be confrontational or judgmental it is a simple query because I am curious and don't really understand EU regulation as it applies to the operation of small private aircraft

If you are flying your aircraft under an "N" reg with a FAA IR, why do you have to do a JAA IR conversion ?
