CRJ7 FLX thrust mode

[Guatico]

Hi guys,

I'm a wreck, what the @#!& is that?
What is FLX temp and why must it be entered into FMC? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

'FLEX'

Try this thread (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177087&highlight=flex).
It (the flex or assumed temperature) goes into the FMC to set a lower power output of the engine thereby lowering the turbine temp and extending the life.
