Mixture - set appropriately
Mure useful is sometihng like:
Mixture - rich below 5000
That's the problem I was trying to point out. Is the average pilot
reading that going to interpret it as 5000 ft. MSL? Probably. It
also doesn't tell you what to do above 5000.
I often fly to an airport that sits at 4,600 ft. It is also common
for OATs to be 100 - 110F or in summer. Full rich would definitely be
a bad idea at that density altitude.
My airport is at 3650, the mixture is never full rich from May thru October.
