Can't find mach lever in control list, also TF30 potential performance issue?

[goAdA]

test condition: caucasus, f14A free flight (QS), jettisoned all store, climbed to 40000 and engaged auto pilot. Started from subsonic, it takes very very very very very long to reach mach one.

The Mach Lever is similar to the idle lockup protection feature on the F110. It limits engine RPM based on mach number to reduce supersonic inlet buzz (which can lead to compressor stalls) and control engine airflow. It also increases engine idle speed in high AOA flight to increase compressor stability margins.

 

It's an automatic system - not actual lever in a cockpit :)
