Thanks Slam, yeah I get it now.
I'm not done yet though. I've got some more verbal diarrhoea that needs dealing with.
Say I'm operating in a cold environment where ITT limits never become a limiting factor. The strips are so short that the 3% required addition for the separator is the difference in being able to take off or not. Seeing as you've mentioned the performance with or without the separator will be identical would I be displaying gross negligence in deciding to omit the 3% from my take off calcs?
I'm just trying to stir some technical discussion that might assist me with my understanding before my endo. Most of my colleagues claim you never get temperature limited unless operating in 35C+ weather. It just perplexed me as to why apply such a blanket requirement with such a small overall effect when it really only might have an effect on the warmest of days.
