A first step in the accurate quantitative spectroscopic analysis of central stars of PN has been based on fitting the results of NLTE, hydrostatic, plane-parallel model atmosphere calculations to the observed H and He absorption-line profiles in high-resolution spectra of bright central stars (Méndez et al. 1988, A&A 190, 113 and subsequent papers). Such analyses have provided very useful determinations of the basic atmospheric parameters: T eff, log g and He abundance.
