CJ Thrust Attenuators

Thrust attenuator were used to eliminate idle thrust so you didnt have to ride the brakes and to reduce ground idle thrust during landing roll. That was it. Subsequent versions of the FJ44 engines allow for a different flight idle v ground idle thrust especially with the advent of the FADEC so attenuators went away.
