UTOPIA TOLD param file for -17R engines

[Bob Scott 7,720]

Tim Dobrowolsky has provided a parameter file for UTOPIA (JT8D-17R engines) that can be used to compute assumed temps for reduced EPR takeoffs.Link in the FAQ section.Thanks to Tim.Bob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

Hi Bob,Where/how do we load this file ? Thanks,John

Thanks AJ,but I have the file. My earlier question relates more to how to use it, where to load it, etc ?

Dowload the program Utopia 1.2 here:http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=128375Put your downloaded file "737-200 JT8D-17R.tod" together with the other .tod-files in the "utopia12" folder.Start the program and fill in the blanks.I'm sure I don't understand everything in the prgr but you get, among a lot other stuff, the derated temp to setin your acft FMC or other temp-setting-place :( Good luck!A.J.

Put the temperature provided by UTOPIA into the "thrust computer" as OAT. I don't know how the real plane works, but this is how I do it. Essentially the engines are being told it's hotter than it really is outside, and thus reduces the EPR to compensate. So this might be a correct procedure.I'd apprecidate it if anyone actually knows.
