Recommended <strong>PT6A</strong> Engine Power Management<br />
It is a general characteristic of aircraft that for a particular gross<br />
weight, the power required for take-off varies comparatively little with<br />
ambient conditions. <strong>PT6A</strong> engines are typically “flat rated” to allow for<br />
the maximum possible take-off power required by the aircraft over a wide<br />
range of ambient temperatures without having to work the engine harder<br />
than is necessary at any time.<br />
