What is the maximum fuel flow rate allowed during takeoff for the ERJ 170/175?

The maximum fuel flow rate during takeoff for the ERJ 170/175 is set at 3,100 lbs/hr. This limitation is important for several reasons, including ensuring optimal engine performance and efficiency, as well as maintaining safety margins within the engine's operating parameters. Exceeding this fuel flow rate could lead to conditions that might jeopardize engine operation, like exceeding specific temperature limits or fuel delivery constraints. A correctly specified fuel flow rate aids in achieving the appropriate thrust levels required during takeoff while also preserving the integrity of the aircraft's systems. Understanding and adhering to this limitation is crucial for pilots to ensure a successful and safe operation of the aircraft.
