## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMBOUT, AT 8,000 FEET MSL, THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 20% OF THROTTLE LEVER TRAVEL. THE THROTTLE OPERATED NORMALLY THROUGH APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST 80% OF TRAVEL BUT TORQUE, TEMP, AND NG% WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY THROTTLE LEVEL MOVEMENT PAST APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST 80% OF TRAVEL. ALSO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE YOU COULD NOT HEAR OR FEEL A RESPONSE IN APPROXIMATELY THAT LAST 20% OF THROTTLE LEVER TRAVEL.
