You are looking at relative needle positions and differences to what you expect to see. It’s easy when there is a big difference in needle position to “spot the difference”. You also typically set an intermediate takeoff power against brakes, check, set takeoff torque then have a quick scan again.
N is typically a common letter to represent speed. The G stands for gas generator or gas turbine speed, also known as a power turbine in turbo shaft engines. It represents how fast the power turbine and power turbine shaft is spinning. The power turbine is connected Via a shaft going to the gearbox on the front of the PT6 engines. If you didn’t have the gearbox the blades could potentially have a catastrophic failure and or simply disintegrate.
Thank you, as a pilot flying a 65 hp aeronca7ac, that was educational 😊
That’s pretty cool. Dont know how pilots look at all of Howe plus more during takeoff and stuff

Very cool.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot, and as an adult it’s on the list when I hopefully get to retire lol.
Make it happen, lots of pilots make the career change to aviation from 35-50 years old
Nice 👍
Cool Man. Thanks for the breakdown.
Nice work
Sweeeet now I know what they monitor.
Thanks! I never knew what Ang’s are
how's it compare to a piston based CSU aircraft? Do you change your pitch much?
:)
What does NG refer to?

An fuel gauge should be the 1st one‼️ ya✔️... Read more
