"Michael" wrote in message That's probably the best rationale I've ever heard for 1500 RPM and one notch of flaps. We all worry about shock cooling Actually, no we do not all worry about shock cooling. Neither do we all worry about shock heating. Many highly respected pilots and mechanics believe that shock cooling and shock heating are myths, at least for modern aircraft engines. The manufacturers have also said that shock cooling and shock heating should not be a problem -- of course, maybe they like to sell replacement engines. :-) I seriously doubt that shock cooling is much of a problem on training aircraft, at least. These airplanes are subjected to all kinds of supposed mistreatment, but their engines almost always make it to TBO.
