Engine mixture guidelines
Up to now when flying in simulation, I've had the simulator take care
of engine mixture adjustments. However, since I'd have to do this myself in real life, I've decided to make some modest attempts at managing mixture myself. Unfortunately, the POH and the other sources I've consulted are rather vague on how mixture should be adjusted. Can anyone offer general guidelines on when to enrich or lean the mixture? It seems that max rich is used when maximum power is required (?), such as at take-off, but I'm not clear when the mixture should be leaned in particular. And what are the potential consequences of an incorrect mixture? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

At this point, you may be successful using XP SP2 as a general setting, however, for better economy you may want to lean back to SP1. Happy New Year! Neil |

http://www.fsinsider.com/About/Learn...the-Engine.htm Thanks! Is the stated rule that mixture should be adjusted to just short of maximum EGT pretty reliable under all circumstances? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
