Default leaning in climb

1. We're talking density altitude here. So you might well be leaned during the
roll down the runway at 100 ft MSL elevation, if the temperature is high
enough. Not rare at all.


You don't mean leaned here, you mean power-restricted.

For those of us who flew from 6000' airports, we leaned at engine
start and then set best power during the run up. We needed every
ounce of performance we could get to get 152's off the ground at
gross at 8000+ density altitudes.
