What is the recommended RPM for maximum climb in the T-6A?

The recommended RPM for maximum climb in the T-6A is 2,000 RPM. This specific setting is designed to optimize the aircraft's performance during the climb phase, balancing engine power with aircraft drag and weight for efficient ascent. At this RPM, the aircraft achieves the best rate of climb performance, enabling it to gain altitude effectively while maintaining engine longevity. Operating at 2,000 RPM allows for the appropriate thrust generation required to overcome gravitational forces while ensuring that the engine operates within its recommended limits, facilitating safe and effective climb maneuvers.

Higher or lower RPM settings can potentially compromise the climb performance or engine efficiency, making the 2,000 RPM the ideal choice for this phase of flight.
