Default RE: Converting thrust figures to ISA standards

We've measured several different turbines from different manufactures and find that we lose approx 4% per 1000' of Density Altitude over the manufacturer published numbers....so at 6000' DA, all turbines tested were putting out about 75% (or a 25% loss) from the published thrust figure at SL. FWIW.
