Speaking of SAG, I had a strange experience
during today's flight which might be the opposite of SAG.
Everything seemed normal. I was boosting about 38 MAP
at 4500 rpm and 5000'. I was gently adding a little throttle to increase speed
for another ASI calibration when I felt a surge of acceleration way beyond what
I'd expect for the minor throttle adjustment I'd made. This was literally a shove in the back. It lasted maybe 2
seconds, then the engine carried on at the new power level. RPM jumped up a couple of hundred. I glanced
down at the MAP. It had dropped to 34. My best guess is that I'd been running
with a gummed up plug which suddenly cleared and gave me added
power.
I'd appreciate any opinions on
this.
Now if
I could just make it happen again - and again.....
