breadwild Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 Sometimes during my take off roll and climb I do not get full torque. I have my CTOT at 80% and switches on and CL at MAX. Upon application of power, I'll get 100% but then it falls off to about 40% during the initial climb (climb rate falls to zero and understandably have a hard time holding altitude). If I pull the CLs back to a mid position, torque returns and the climb rate returns. The only thing I've noticed is a yellow light on the panel that says AUTOCOARS ARM, which according to the Systems manual means the system is armed in the low or high power mode. Not sure what that means. I believe I have been following all the checklists to a "T" but I might be missing something. If someone could shed some light on this issue, I'd be grateful. Brad Quote
Karvajalka Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 you stop the condition levers at the max marker or push them all the way? Quote
JGregory Posted January 17, 2015 Report Posted January 17, 2015 As Karvajalka has stated, be sure you DO NOT push the Condition Levers to the far end of their travel. They should be positioned at the MAX detent, not beyond. Quote
breadwild Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Posted January 17, 2015 Bingo! Guys, that did it! Thanks (helped to pull up the popup gauge to make sure). This plane just gets better Quote
