Default Percent power altitude

Anyone tell me at what altitude I get 75% and 65% power respctively
(with full throttle, normally aspirated).

You don't have a POH?

You know, he might not even have an airplane. He just asked
a question and expected an answer, not a wise crack.

No POH required, answer is not aircraft specific, see:

Depends on the engine, depends on the OAT (density altitude).

Not on the engine as long as it's "normally aspirated' as
specified in the OP.

Running on (faulty) memory again, Jim?

How about 7,500' and about 12,500', ISA of course.

See my previous replies to this thread for a real chart
answer.

The formula answer is:

bhp at altitude equals bhp at sea level times the quantity
(density ratio minus the quantity(1 minus density ratio divided by 7.55))

Works out to 76% at 7,500' and 64% at 12,500', or thereabouts.


Bad information is worse than no information at all.

OK, I'm confused. Full throttle, 64%, is 12,500' for any engine?
How come my cherokee 140 couldn't even get to 12,500'?
What am I overlooking?
