Turboprop pilots past and present
Hey all,
I was recently flying with a guy that matched up his ITT in cruise and not his torque. Our ITT was matched but our torques were off by 6%. I have always been taught to match up torque in cruise. When I was flying, he asked why I was matching up the torque I replied "because that is the correct way to do it". He asked "who told you that?" I said I thought it was common knowledge. Our manual does not say one way or another (my plane has PT-6's) Anybody know of any documentation I can reference on this matter? Maybe I was taught wrong... anyone?
