A good place to learn about LOP operations and engine operations in general
is on Avweb.

You need to get your facts straight before you start calling names.

Matt, you said "Let's see: % of HP = GPH * 14.9, so figure what the
power level. "

Deakin says
"Multiplying the fuel flow (18.0 GPH) by 14.9 (the constant for this
engine), we know this is 268 HP, or a whopping 89%."

It's HP=GPH*14.9
Not % of HP = GPH * 14.9

And that relationship holds LOP ONLY!

Argue with Deakin, not me.

268 of 285 = 89%

Still the same ****head you were a year or so ago, huh?
