hi,
Was wondering if someone could help me with calculating the derated take-off thrust, if there is a change to the QNH for a given actual takeoff weight. I know that the thrust setting depends on temp so if you have a Actual TOW less than the RTOW it is possible replace the OAT reading to a higher value and therefore allowing for a reduced thrust setting on takeoff. What I don't understand is how this is calculated. Also what happens if there is a change in QNH. how is this taken into account in the calculation. sorry if its a bit vague but got to start somewhere. |

I can't really help you with your question, but just a hint at why you're getting few answers: QNH is a European term for what in this mostly American forum is known as "altimeter setting". If I understand your question correctly, however, your interest is in the effect of pressure and density altitude on take-off power settings. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

The Q-code system is defined worldwide. It is true, however, that in today's USA aviation radio communications, the Q-codes are usually not used. Stefan |

Stefan,
No, QNH is *not* a European term. You're right, of course. It's an ICAO term, and it is used anywhere in the world but... Same goes for "decimal" instead of "point". -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
