What is the maximum ITT at idle?

The maximum ITT (Interstage Turbine Temperature) at idle for the T-6 aircraft is established at 750°C. This limit is critical for ensuring that the engine operates within safe thermal parameters, thereby protecting the engine components from excessive heat and potential damage during low power settings.

Monitoring ITT during various phases of flight is crucial, as exceeding these limits can result in significant engine wear or failure. The idle setting represents a unique condition of low power, and the 750°C threshold ensures that even in this state, the engine is maintained within operational safety tolerances.

Understanding this limit helps pilots manage engine performance effectively and highlights the importance of adhering to operational limits for long-term engine health and reliability.
