That is correct on the leaning technique, but that won't result in
120dF ROP shortly after takeoff.  It will be much richer than that (250
or so ROP) until you gain quite a bit of altitude. By 12,000 feet or
so, that method will usually result in the engine being near best
power, which is what you want as you climb higher a NA engine.

BTW, you can download a free PPT reader off of the net which will come
in handy for quite a few things in the future.

Walter,

 

OK, I got it now.  Thanks.  I'll just have to tighten up my procedure a bit so I can better stay on the wiggly line. 

 

You know, I wonder if I read about this in one of Deakin's old AVWEB articles that may have covered this approach.  My memory capacity is finite and small - I can only retain the info I need to stay alive - author's name, background, yada, yada, yada........... must be left out to make room. 

 

Anyway, we would not have exchanged so many communications if I had used the language of an Advanced Pilot processed thru the Seminar.
