AMC E 620  Performance: Formulae

ED Decision 2007/015/R

(1)     The following corrections from the observed test conditions to the assumed atmospheric conditions of pressure and temperature should be used within the range of conditions appropriate to the particular type of Engine, i.e. taking into account the characteristics of the Engine Control System, and the possible effect of Reynolds Number, unless more accurate or additional corrections for a particular type of Engine have been agreed or required by the Agency.
