How Long at Full Power?
in General Tech Discussion
8 years ago
I just purchased a SportStar with the 912ULS (2005).
I have heard mechanics say to NOT run the engine at full power (ours generates 5,000 RPM in climb) for more than 5 minutes. But I can't seem to find anything in the POH about this and no specific documentation on how to do it. If you are going to 8,500 you will need to climb for about 12 minutes. Does anyone know if it is necessary to regard the throttle during climb, and if so, at what power setting and for how long for resuming full power?
