FUEL SAVINGS PROCEDURES FOR NORMAL
OPERATIONS
For best fuel economy during normal operations, the following
procedures are recommended.
1. After engine start and for all ground operations, set the throttle to
1200 RPM and lean the mixture for maximum RPM. After
leaning, set the throttle to the appropriate RPM for ground
operations. Leave the mixture at this setting until beginning the
BEFORE TAKEOFF checklist. After the BEFORE TAKEOFF
checklist is complete, lean the mixture again as described
above, until ready to perform the TAKEOFF checklist.
2. Adjust the mixture as shown in Section 5 during MCP climbs.
3. Lean the mixture at any altitude for RECOMMENDED LEAN or
BEST ECONOMY fuel flows when using 88% or less power.
NOTE
Using the above recommended procedures can provide
fuel savings in excess of 5% when compared to typical
training operations at full rich mixture. In addition, the above
procedures will minimize spark plug fouling since the
reduction in fuel consumption results in a proportional
reduction in tetraethyl lead passing through the engine.
