Really - my carbureted 182 calls for full rich on takeoff


So does mine - at SL on a standard day.

But not on a hot 95 degF afternoon at 5000 MSL.


What's the critical altitude of the turbocharged engine in your airplane?
Is it above or below the density altitude for that 95 F at 5000'?

As long as you are taking off at full power, I see no reason why you would
not use full rich mixture. Conversely, if even with the turbocharger, you
cannot make full power, I can believe one would need to lean.

I don't see why the difference should be between fuel-injected versus
carbureted. The metering is basically the same for both; only the method of
delivery is different.
