TM 1-1510-225-10
B-2
Vso
Stalling speed or the minimum
steady flight speed in the landing
configuration.
Vsse
The safe one-engine inoperative
speed
selected
to
provide
a
reasonable
margin
against
the
occurrence of an unintentional stall
when making intentional engine
cuts.
Vyse
The best single-engine rate-of-climb
speed is the airspeed which delivers
the greatest gain of altitude in the
shortest possible time with one
engine inoperative, gear and flaps
up.
B-2. METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY
Altimeter
Setting
Barometric pressure corrected to
sea level.
C
Degrees Celsius.
F
Degrees Fahrenheit.
FAT
Free air temperature is the free air
static temperature, obtained either
from ground meteorological sources
or
from
in-flight
temperature
indications
adjusted
for
compressibility effects.
Indicated
Pressure
Altitude
The number actually read from an
altimeter when the barometric scale
(Kollsman window) has been set to
29.92 inches of mercury (1013
millibars).
ISA
International Standard Atmosphere
in which:
The air is a dry perfect gas.
The temperature at sea level is
59 F, 15 C.
The
pressure
at
sea
level
is
29.92 inches Hg.
The
temperature
gradient
is
-0.003566 F per foot from sea level
to
the
altitude
at
which
the
temperature is 69.7 F, and 0
above that altitude.
Pressure
Altitude
Indicated pressure altitude corrected
for altimeter error.
SL
Sea level.
Wind
The wind velocities recorded as
variables on the charts of this
manual are to be understood as the
headwind or tailwind components of
the actual winds at 50 feet above
runway surface (tower winds).
B-3. POWER TERMINOLOGY
Beta Range
The region of the POWER lever
control which is aft of the IDLE stop
and forward of reversing range
where blade pitch angle can be
changed
without
changing
gas
generator speed.
Cruise Climb The maximum power approved for
normal climb. This power is torque
or temperature (ITT) limited.
GROUND
FINE
The region of the POWER lever
control, which is aft of the IDLE stop
and forward of REVERSE range,
where propeller blade pitch angle
and gas generator RPM can be
changed.
Use
to
provide
deceleration on the ground during
landing accelerate-stop conditions.
HIGH IDLE
The region of CONDITION lever
control placarded as the HIGH IDLE
position. This limits the power
operation to a minimum of 70% of
N1 RPM.
LOW IDLE
The region of CONDITION lever
control placarded as the LOW IDLE
position. This limits the power
operation to a minimum of 62% of
N1 RPM.
Maximum
Cruise
Power
The highest power rating for cruise
that is not time limited.
Maximum
Continuous
Power
The maximum power available from
an
engine
for
use
during
an
emergency operation.
Normal
Rated Climb
Power
The maximum power available from
an engine for continuous normal
climb operations.
Normal
Rated
Power
The maximum power available from
an engine for continuous operation
in cruise (with lower ITT limit than
normal rated climb power).
