What mast torque percentage can TCRS command for interim power during VTOL/CONV operations?

In VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) or CONV (Conversion) operations, the TCRS (Torque Command Reference System) has the capability to command up to 117% mast torque for interim power. This higher torque percentage is crucial during these operations as it allows for enhancements in performance, especially when additional power is necessary to maintain controlled flight and transition between flight modes.

The command for 117% mast torque is designed to provide the necessary lift and maneuverability in challenging flight conditions. It ensures that the aircraft can rigorously respond to the demands of VTOL/CONV operations without exceeding safety limits set for prolonged operations or causing excessive strain on the airframe.

Understanding the TCRS capability is essential for pilots to effectively manage aircraft performance and to make informed decisions during critical phases of flight.
