What is the maximum continuous operating N2 speed for the engines?

The maximum continuous operating N2 speed for the engines is 101.5% N2. This value is important because it reflects the highest sustained operational speed that the engine can achieve without risking damage or compromising performance. Operating within this limit ensures the engine's reliability and longevity during continuous flight operations. Exceeding this speed can lead to increased wear and potential failure of critical engine components.

Choosing any other value would suggest operating either below the optimal performance threshold or beyond safe operating limits, which can compromise safety. The specified maximum allows pilots to effectively manage engine performance while maintaining safety and efficiency throughout the flight. It is crucial for pilots to be aware of these limitations to make informed decisions regarding throttle management and fuel efficiency.
