Figure 2-5.
For a given
throttle
setting,
select
the lowest engine RPM in the
green arc
range that will give smooth engine operation.
The cowl flaps should be adjusted to
maintain
the cylinder head
tem-
perature at approximately two
thirds
of
the
normal
operating (green
arc)
range
to assure prolonged engine
life.
To achieve the
range figures
shown in Section
VI,
the mixture should
be leaned
as
follows: pull mixture control out until engine becomes rough;
then
enrich mixture slightly
from this
point.
Any
change in altitude,
power, or
carburetor heat will require
a change in the
lean
mixture setting.
Application
of
full
carburetor
heat may
enrich the mixture
to the
point of engine roughness.
To
avoid
this,
lean the
mixture as instructed
in the preceding
paragraph.
The
use of
full
carburetor
heat is recommended during flight
in
very
heavy
rain
to avoid the possibility of
engine stoppage
due
to excessive
water
ingestion.
The mixture
setting
should be readjusted for smoothest
operation.
STALLS.
The
stall characteristics are
conventional and
aural
warning is pro-
vided
by
a
stall
warning horn which sounds between
5
and 10 MPH above
the stall
in
all
configurations.
