2.11.2 THROTTLE LEVER
The throttle lever (1) allows the engine speed (r.p.m.) to be varied and thus to vary the power delivered.
Moving the throttle forward opens the carburetors' throttle valve, thus increasing the power delivered.
Moving the throttle backward reduces the power delivered.
With the ROTAX 914, the throttle's movement goes from 0 to 115% of maximum continuous power. During
the travel from 0 to 100%, the power is delivered proportionally to the movement of the throttle lever, so that
it can be modulated. Once it reaches 100%, a stop (2) blocks the lever's forward movement.
To make use of the maximum available power (115%), the pilot must press the lever (1) slightly towards the
inside of the cockpit (3) to get beyond the stop and then continue the forward movement.
Once the lever moves beyond the 100% stop, the power delivered is not proportional to the movement, as
the engine boosting does not take place in a linear manner.
115% power can be used when necessary for takeoff operations, always taking care not to exceed the
engine's maximum speed (5800 r.p.m.).
NOTE:
The maximum continuous power for takeoff is given at 100% of the delivered power. The
maximum available power (115%) can only be used for not more than 5 minutes. After 5
minutes, the turbo's management system automatically reduces the delivered power until
reaching the maximum value of continuous power (100%).
