RvETito Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 What do you mean by throttle, the yellow levers right next to the collective? If so, then you gotta know this- they have 4 positions and are also called separate engine control levers. 1. Idle position- full down, idle engine power (~70%, ambient air temperature depending) 2. Rotor RPM governor fail- one step above (PageUP)- explanation of the purpose of this would take forever. Or at least one TV3-117 training course. 3. Auto- PageUp again. It means that rotor RPM governor will maintain 90% rotor RPM. 4. MAX- PageUp. In case of OEI you may need to move the throttle lever of the operating engine to ensure it will operate at take-off (max) power. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument.
