Ok, mine was A version '74, yours is probably newer C.

300 to 0.9 at MIL,

350 to 0.95 at MAX.

There are two versions, aren’t there? One from around 1974 and another around 1984. Which is yours, the latter?

Edit: Oops. Didn’t notice draconis’s post until just now.

Well…this is interesting. From the 1986 revision of the manual:

Keep in mind that these are just two basic profiles which serve a specific purpose.   There are others (eg. get to 500kts straight and level off the runway, then pitch for 450).

I don't recall any more if these were supposed to strike balance between fuel and time-to-altitude or distance-to-altitude or something else, but it's usually that sort of compromise.

Of course. But Section 2-9 in the 1986 revision uses 350 for both profiles, not 300 for one and 350 for the other. That’s why I was curious.

Fair enough.   It's just a -1 though, they can change small details and we don't really know why

The one I have is from '84, the change (change 5) is from '86.

Time accelerator? 

 

Clearly these planes are more capable and I have more to learn than I thought.

Yes. Over use of the afterburner can boost you into the next century.

I wish we had the option to laugh react posts because you deserve it.
