in relation to a piston engine Constant Speed Unit (CSU) or Manual Propeller Pitch Control the term “Full Throttle Height”. Where the term critical height may refer to superchareged or turbo charged engines a naturally aspirated will get to a “Full Throttle Height.” Thank you to Mark Munn for adding this definition
