Do you understand that under leaned conditions and above a certain altitude, say, 7,000 feet, that you cannot achieve engine redline? The altitude limits the engine output due to the lowered oxygen content in the air. I do... However I live 44' asl and have never been that high in any of the 5 types I've flown sofar... WOT cannot harm the engine under this condition because the engine can only produce around 65% to 60% power at that altitude. You might as well run WOT or you may be limiting the engine even more. Typically we're at 2000' or below, but this plane is a recent purchase and will see more crosscountry time than what we've done previously... |
