Line Up and Wait
So, my understanding that application of takeoff power on the turbo IO540 (T182T) should be gradual. I am told that is to prevent over boosting the turbo.
OK, so I tend to adhere to caution like this and I go ahead and apply power gradually. I don't know if it is a problem or not, but it seems that the power is so smooth and acceleration so great that by the time I get the throttle up to 32", I am already above 60 KIAS and ready to fly.
Is this typical, or should I be applying throttle a bit more quickly?
