N1 limit values change based on which two factors?

• A. Pressure Altitude and Outside Air Temperature
• B. Engine RPM and Torque
• C. Battery voltage and OAT
• D. Altitude and Humidity

Answer: (A)

N1 limit values change with air density, which is determined by pressure altitude and outside air temperature. Higher altitude or warmer air makes the air less dense, reducing compressor flow and cooling margins. To protect the engine from overspeed, surge, or overheating under those conditions, the safe N1 limit is lowered. Cold air at the same altitude provides more density, allowing higher N1 limits. Humidity has only a minor effect, and battery voltage doesn’t define N1 limits, while engine RPM and Torque are operating parameters, not ambient-condition limits. So the two factors that establish N1 limits are pressure altitude and outside air temperature.
