For correlation between throttle position and nominal boost pres-
sure in the airbox, refer to the diagram.
In this range (108 to 110 % throttle position) small changes in
throttle position have a big effect on engine performance and
speed, but are virtually not apparent for the pilot from the throttle
lever position.

The most important points for engine operation:
As shown in the diagram, the throttle position
at 108 to 110 % results in a rapid rise of nom-
inal boost pressure. To avoid unstable boost,
the throttle should be moved smoothly
through this area either to full power (115 %)
or, on a power reduction, to max. continuous
power (100 %).
The exact setting for a specific performance
is virtually impossible in this range and has to
be prevented, as it might cause control fluctu-
ations (surging).
