Hi

Finally bit the bullet and started to fly the HJG 727 on flight sim, knowing full well how hard it would be!
Could anyone advise on ballpark figures for t/off, climb and cruise power?
I do love flying a jet without autothrottle but I don't want to accrue masses of penalty points for overspeed :lol:

30 years ago I was actually a Flight Engineer on Dan-Air's 727s but the old grey matter isnt quite what it used to be, especially with memory cells ;)

Thanks in advance

Stuart

My recollections are now 40 years old and I only encountered the JT8D on the 737 which was of course lighter , but for full thrust take off at ISA I would expect something of the order of EPR 1.93 - and if I remember correctly you got an extra .03 with the bleeds shut off if it was really a balls to the wall take off. For climb - and I'm guessing now, perhaps 1.88, and cruise perhaps 1.80
