resetting mixture by
xerj
Generally speaking, when making power changes in the cruise once leaned, do
you just adjust your throttle and/or RPM and THEN adjust mixture? I imagine
you wouldn't push mixture to full rich before making power changes at
altitude. Is this the case?
Further question: when going from, say, 24...

Good photo of a 182 being towed down the road! Based on the
METAR data, conditions were certainly conducive for carburetor
heat, but were they really too extreme for carburetor heat to be

Any info on WC Pye Course & Speed Calculator by
Jack McAdams
My grandson gave me a beautiful Course & Speed Calculator manufactured
by W.C. Pye & Co Ltd. The mahagony box is marked as REF. No. 6B/120.
It is a MK IIA model.
It is obviously analagous to a very early E6B. My guess it is WWII
era, maybe a bit earlier.
Does anyone happen to have an instruction...

I just finally replaced my ancient Palm V with an iPAQ 1945, and while I was
there I got an HP Bluetooth GPS. Anyone have any advice on aviation
