Cessna 152 (proper) air/fuel ratio...
Varies with the engine, with the fuel atomizaion scheme, displacement,
etc, but most of us live with a 15:1 air fuel ratio as a starting point. Jim On Mon, 14 May 2012 23:58:14 +0000, dtvonly wrote: Hi. I am a student pilot and have always done "proper" leaning per flight altitude. I should have asked this a long time ago but...anyway...when using the mixture control to get "optimum" RPM at altitude, what is the "optimum" air/fuel ratio ? 3:1, 4:1, etc... Thank you.
