How do you go about power management anyway? Do you chase a specific speed/mach, or do you just set a specific power setting and take the speed you get?
I think this has already been said once...I think it's a sad day when making minor power adjustments is an annoyance in an airplane that practically every knob/button has an "AUTO" position. (Granted, not all RJ's are like that) Not attacking anyone, just my $.02
