So remind me how we do the accel/decl check then, without spinning? I don't
believe the aircraft will spin from throttle alone
Spot on - I agree 100% 212 man and as BLCL says it would tend to spin to the right anyway.
Guess you were not just opening the throttle within a second, hum?
Hueyracer that is exactly what we do on accel/decel checks - idle to full throttle in less than 1 second then close throttle back to idle at 90% N1 - check it reached 90% N1 in 4 seconds or less
