Sure.
Hmmm... At 2500 RPM and pulling back to 17-19 inches (maintained thru
the descent), I always twist the Mixture vernier for a bit more fuel every
few thousand feet as the EGTs change (rise) in a 400+ fpm descent
that forces me to operate at 190-210 KIAS with ram air pressure greater
than it was at cruise. Usually, when I level off, the mixture will be just
about right to either finally slow down or reapply power back to 25" MAP.
Hmmm.... OK, at the next opportunity, I will perform a constant
speed (135-140 KIAS) climb to 12000 feet (away from ORD), set up cruise at 30-40
LOP, and descend (say 500 fpm or so, I don't have TRU-TRAK) as you requested
unless something exotic occurs - I will be writing furiously during this
exercise unless the traffic alerter starts to nag at me. For those
interested, I will be reporting LSE timing also.
