Engine Operation
c. Cylinder Head Temperature (if equipped)
d. Oil Temperature and Pressure
4-3.6. Cruise Climb
For climbing or ascent procedures at full power, supplement the AFM/POH with these
settings:
1. Throttle............................................................. Greater than 75% rated power
2. Mixture Control ............................................... FULL RICH
3. Cowl Flaps ....................................................... Set to maintain CHT/Oil Temp
4. Immediately after takeoff, monitor engine gauges not to exceed operating limits.
NOTE: Maintain mixture and throttle settings until climb is complete.
Upon completion of climb, power settings may be reduced to desired
settings.
a. Tachometer
b. Fuel Flow (if equipped)
c. Cylinder Head Temperature (if equipped)
d. Oil Pressure
4-3.7. Cruise
When the desired altitude has been reached, supplement the AFM/POH instructions with
these steps:
1. Adjust the throttle for the desired cruise power settings.
2. Monitor Engine Instruments - Allow engine temperatures to stabilize
(approximately five minutes after cruise settings).
CAUTION: When increasing power, enrich mixture, then advance
the throttle to increase RPM. When reducing power, retard throttle,
then adjust the mixture control.
Do not lean the fuel mixture beyond the “Best Power” setting.
Excessive mixture leaning will increase engine temperatures and
may damage the engine.
3. Adjust the mixture control to lean the fuel mixture, while monitoring the
tachometer, until engine RPM “peaks” (RPM advances to highest level at throttle
setting) for the selected throttle position. Advance the mixture control slowly toward
the “FULL RICH” position until slight RPM reduction is observed on tachometer.
This setting is referred to as “Best Power Cruise.”
