Should rules be changed to limit max HP to 180, what "requirements" are there to officially limit an engine to that max HP?
Lets say you have a 200 HP engine installed, FAA changes some rules, you now want a "180 HP" engine. 180= 90% of 200. .9*2700=2430 RPM. Is it as easy as limiting that 200 HP@2700RPM engine to 2430 RPM and now calling it a 180 HP engine?
Just curious. Builders who have not selected an engine have more options, but some already have an engine installed.
