ENGINE OPERATION LOG FORMULA FOR CALCULATION OF EQUIVALENT CYCLES
NE = [NS + AV • (NV – NS – NP ) + Ap • NP ] • L
NE = No. of equivalent cycles AV = abbreviated flight cycle coefficient i.e.
cycle when ground idle of both gas NS = No. of engine starts followed by generator and propeller was used takeoff/several takeoffs between flights (nG > 60%, nV > 830 NV = No. of all takeoffs rpm)
AP = abbreviated flight cycle coefficient i.e.
NP = No. of repeated takeoffs when ground cycle when ground idle of gas generator idle with feathered propeller was used with feathered propeller was used before takeoff (nG > 60%, 830 rpm > nV > between flights (nG > 60%, 830 rpm > nV 320 rpm) > 320 rpm) L= flight mission coefficient
