Badger633 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Could someone explain what is the difference between the take off and landing water settings apart from the obvious. What is the difference between their actual function and power produced. I have , probably incorrectly, whilst landing switched from the landing to the take off water setting to get extra lift when the landing water setting could not maintain aircraft height. By using the take off water setting during the landing the aircraft height was then maintained. Thanks for any help.

robmlufc Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The only difference is that in LDG the water does not start flowing until JPT is above 692Deg C (Max normal lift dry JPT), to conserve water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 So the water shouldn't flow at 250+kts? It does though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzifer Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So the water shouldn't flow at 250+kts? It does though... In what setting? It shouldn't in TO, should continue in LDG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmlufc Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) In what setting? It shouldn't in TO, should continue in LDG. No, water should always stop flowing above 250kts. You should get a H20 Sel caption above 250kts. The only difference between the two modes is the JPT requirement in Land mode. I've attached the water flow logic.

Eagle7907 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It seems like it’s practical to always switch it on for TO or LAND because it kicks up the engine schedule even if you don’t go into high enough JPT and/or RPM for landing or TO.

Although I can't quite make sense of the flow chart you posted, it seems it couldn't even express conditions like the one in mvsgas's description.

Mvsgas scan says exactly that water flows until airspeed exceeds 250kts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
