Default Engine stoppage during idle

There's two reasons not to go to full rich for landing. For me the most
important is density altitude. I live at 3650 msl and see lots of
flatlanders land full rich on a 90 degree day and have the engine quit on
rollout. Running full rich in these situations is just ****ing power away
when you need it. The second reason is fouling the plugs.

Quite!
