One thing to remember is that for most operations, even at sea level, full
rich is too rich. Consider this: The full rich mixture setting must not be too lean for any condition likely to be encountered, as the pilot obviously has no way to further enrich the mixture. But at -30 C at sea level (a temp sometimes seen in winter in many parts of the country) and barometric pressure of 29.92", density altitude is MINUS 5900 feet! If full rich mixture is not too lean for those conditions it sure as heck will be too rich at sea level in standard conditions. I'm not advocating leaning for takeoff at or close to sea level, as a rich mixture may be required for adequate cooling, but I always start to lean fairly early in the climb. -Elliott Drucker |

Elliot, you can expect the leaning police to come and take you away...
Heresy, that's what it is, heresy.... Denny wrote in message ... One thing to remember is that for most operations, even at sea level, full rich is too rich. |
