John Deakin has written that if you lean to the lean side of peak and
the engine runs rough, pulling on full carb heat will distribute the
fuel into the air mixture better and give you the ability to lean to
the lean side of peak.

Actually, he says "just a touch" of carb heat.

That was his initial suggestion. In his next column he posted this as
a news flash. I've posted nearly the entire portion of the column
because he has some caveats that are important to understand:

Corky,

This text must surely be most interesting
and many people might benefit from understanding,
myself not the least.
Unfortunately it is so full of undocumented abbreviations
that I can't really make much from it.
MP must stand for manifold pressure I presume,
and EGT and CHT are wellknown cause there's instruments for them
but what the heck are ROP, ONLY, AMPLE, WOP, JIP, LOP ?

ROP = Rich of Peak
LOP = Lean of Peak

WOP (WOT) + Wide open throttle

ONLY and AMPLE are _emphasis"

"JIP" I don't se in the article



Is there perhaps a glossary web page somewhere for this kind of
terminology?

There's this http://www.gps.tc.faa.gov/glossary.html but much of aviation's
charm is the acronyms we create every day :~)
