You do understand that he's talking about a turbocharged engine, right?
Generally speaking, full rich is the correct mixture setting for a
turbocharged piston engine, for full-power takeoffs regardless of altitude.


Yes, I remembered the turbo part this afternoon.
For descent there is no reason to change the mixture unless you are
going to push the throttle back in beyond the cruise power setting.
For takeoff, the turbo should maintain sealevel power up to 12,000 feet
MSL, so full rich or slightly leaned mixture would be used on takeoff. I
think I would still lean for best power prior to releasing brakes for
takeoff.
