Brandt Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 So, power is often expressed in percentages, yet Mooney doesn’t publish a percentage chart on power settings. Am I to assume it’s the simple math e.g. 24 inches is roughly 72% of 33.5 inches and rpm doesn’t matter? Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 My first question is, Why do you care? If you are running it at best economy (LOP) you can use the fuel flow to compute %Power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually an M20V. But close enough. My question boiled down to whether MP was a suitable proxy for rated horsepower. At. 33.5 inches and 2500 rpm it should be producing 280 hp. So can you extrapolate based on other MP settings? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops sorry. Power settings are the same though. I doubt that it's linear. Example, I doubt that at 16.75 inches that it's 140 hp, meaning 50% power. I think 50% would be a higher setting, but that's a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kortopates Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Power curves can be had by purchasing TCM’s Overhaul manual or Maintenance/Operations manual. Both have the same performance curves. You may find an older version on the internet as well.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
