Fw190 D-9 2.03 ata

FW used similar forms.
I have found a couple of them in munich, for the FW190A3 & A5. They had three columns, first one with the demanded values and the other two where the values from the two check flights were to be inserted.

The flights required only tests at Climb & Combat power, but i guess that was to prevent overstrain on a fresh engine.
Interesting to note that the inspection pilots were also ordered to test the control forces and if they were inside the limits.

Exactly!

Even the Luftwaffe had a hard time keeping the ailerons adjusted on the FW-190.  It is a reoccurring theme throughout FW-190 service.

The first sign of improperly adjusted control surfaces in the FW-190 was the stick forces increasing above a few kilograms.

All the best,

The 006 is so much slower than others that it is possible that it actually did run at lower MAP than the 002 and 043. That also explains higher FTH.

The test report confirms this; at 3000rpm the MAP at FTH was about 1,52 ata in the case of the 006 (with series engine) while  in the other cases (001, 002, 003...) the MAP at FTH was about 1,57-1,6 ata. Above FTH there appear to be not much difference in the supercharger performance of the tested engines. Anyway, the actuall output of the engines   did vary quite bit (when different engines were tested in the same airframe).
