Engine Operation
4-3.8. 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: Do not lean the fuel mixture beyond the “Best Power”
setting. Excessive mixture leaning will increase engine temperatures
and may damage the engine.
NOTE: When increasing power, enrich mixture, then advance the throttle
to increase RPM. When reducing power, retard throttle, then adjust the
mixture control.
Changes in altitude or air temperature will require adjustments in
manifold pressure and fuel flow.
3. Adjust the mixture control to lean cruise condition in accordance to AFM/POH.
4. If using the exhaust gas temperature gauge to monitor cruise fuel flow, adjust the fuel
mixture to 75° to 100°F (24° to 38°C) rich of peak for best power setting.
