Perhaps the recommended climb speeds are slower than cruise speeds and that
affects the max allowable thrust levels?
Is there any info on cruise/climb speeds where you climb at cruise speed?

Sierra Industries will update the engines on your old Cessna
Citation. Basically, they increase the allowed turbine RPM speed.
The result is that the engine produces the same thrust (2200 lbs) at
takeoff and climb as before, but more thrust (2345 lbs) at cruise. So
at climb I must keep the throttles back, but as I level off I can
advance the throttles for more thrust. When I go back to climbing, I
must reduce the thrust again.
This seems *odd* to me. Can someone please explain it?
