What is the maximum continuous ITT allowed during T-6 operations?

In T-6 operations, the maximum continuous Interstage Turbine Temperature (ITT) allowed is 820°C. This limit is crucial for the safe operation and longevity of the engine. The ITT is a key parameter that indicates the temperature of the gases exiting the turbine section, and maintaining it within specified limits ensures optimal performance and prevents engine damage.

The maximum continuous ITT of 820°C reflects the balance between power output and the potential thermal stress on engine components. Operating at or below this temperature helps ensure the engine operates within design limits without risking overheating or excessive wear. Exceeding this temperature can lead to engine inefficiency, reduced reliability, and increased maintenance requirements.

Understanding and adhering to these operational limits is essential for pilots and ground crews responsible for the T-6 aircraft to ensure the safety and integrity of the engine throughout its operational life.
