CRUISE
(Continued)
LEANING WITH EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE (EGT)
INDICATOR
(if installed)
The cruise performance data in this POH is based on the
recommended lean mixture setting determined from the maximum or
peak EGT at power settings of 75% MCP and lower.
EGT °F is displayed with a vertical scale and pointer on the EIS
ENGINE page. The numerical value for the EGT is located above the
vertical scale.
Use the mixture control vernier adjustment to lean the fuel mixture by
slowly turning the mixture control knob in the counterclockwise
direction while monitoring EGT. As EGT °F increases, continue to lean
the mixture until it reaches peak EGT. Enrichen the mixture by slowly
turning the mixture control clockwise and monitor EGT °F until EGT
decreases slightly.
NOTE
The Model 162 engine manufacturer, Teledyne Continental
Motors, has not approved operation of the engine at fuel
flow rates (mixture settings) less than necessary to reach
peak EGT. Refer to Section 5, Figure 5-7, Cruise
Performance, for specific power settings and lean for best
power cruise.
Continuous operation at mixture settings lean of peak EGT is
prohibited.
