Please explain why you believe THP = SHP * p.e. (from NAVAVSCOLSCOM-SG-111 page 4) is NOT correct.
When did I say that equation wasn't correct? I don't think you realize that the equation in that form is very basic. The terms THP, SHP and p.e. all expand to include a heck of a lot of variables. Like I said before, a physics class would benefit your understanding.

You repeatedly insist the formula for Engine + Prop + Airframe with regards to Aircraft performance as being the only correct version.
No. I. Do. Not! I've only disagreed with everyone incorrect interpretation of what THP is.

Believe what you would like. I think I've had enough with this thread.

Where do you actually stand on this?
When standing on the earth you are technically in an accelerating (rotating) reference frame; which is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame. However, some phenomena can be explained easier from the perspective of an inertial reference frame. I'm pretty sure I said virtually the same thing in a previous post.
