NATOPS1 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 ....during cruise which method is the best for power setting.. Lots of C-130 "friends" here! Easy answer is it depends on the goal. Fuel effenciency, time spent in flight, engine (turbine) preservation... Which is “better†I think you will get three different answers… fuel flow, torque and TIT. Most I would say set TIT… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in WV Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 TIT is the easy answer. On the H models I crewed we'd pick the altitude we'd get 300 TAS at 970º. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Almost always set TIT. On Es 932, Hs 970 or was it 1010. Can't remember exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC10FE Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 On the commercial Hercs I flew, it was takeoff at 1010, climb at 970 and cruise at 932. This was with the 501-D22A motors; the civilian equivalant of the T56-15. Don R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember exactly. 1010º is the max continuous -15 TIT limit and 970º is preferred for extending tubine life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
