Default Citation Weirdness


Higher thrust doesn't necessarily mean a higher throttle *position*.

Sierra Industries will update the engines on your old Cessna
Citation. Basically, they increase the allowed turbine RPM speed.
The result is that the engine produces the same thrust (2200 lbs) at
takeoff and climb as before, but more thrust (2345 lbs) at cruise. So
at climb I must keep the throttles back, but as I level off I can
advance the throttles for more thrust. When I go back to climbing, I
must reduce the thrust again.

This seems *odd* to me. Can someone please explain it?
