[NO BUG]Nozzle Open when it should be closed.

[P3CFE]

During flight, throttle at idle, the exhaust nozzle should be in the most possible closed position.

 

As soon as the landing gear handle is down, the nozzle should open fully, to reduce thrust during landing.

 

At the moment the nozzle is fully open with throttle in idle during flight and gear handle up.

 

Hope it will be corrected..

In the manuals, only the P&W engine nozzle is specifically affected LG handle position. It does not specify whether GE engine nozzle is also affected.

So, with a F100-PW-220 (block 10 to 25, 32 and some 42) throttle at idle with the LG handle down and engine control in Pri, nozzle should be between 70 to 95% open.

With a F100-PW-229 (block 52 and some 42) at idle in Pri with LG down, nozzle should be more than 80% open

 

Non of the GE engine specify this behavior.

Oke, Thanks...

 

Then I stand corrected,

I am not familiar with the F16 GE engine mechanics..
