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.

Well Peter, I don't know who is telling you to configure the engine
that way for landing but you may want to poll the big bore drivers on
here... I can tell you from experience with injected 360-520-540-720,
that many a hot engine will quit if used like that...
Personally, I leave the engine partially leaned in the landing
pattern...



I can see it both ways.
In the UK, the SOP is to go max-rpm and full-rich on short final, in
anticipation of a go-around.


That's SOP in the US, too. I've never heard of what Denny and Newps are
suggesting, but then I don't fly a big-bore, and don't keep up with
their SOPs.
