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 inches and 2500 RPM leaned to 21
inches and 2500 RPM, would you generally need to adjust mixture at all?

Thanks in advance.


In general, if you're increasing RPM, I'd recommend prop then throttle then
mixture.

If you're decreasing, consider throttle, then prop, then mixture.

In all cases, your egt is your best friend. Besides all of your other best
friends, of course.
