 340CC ASTM Certified Engine  |  11

3.5 Cruise

Power:  MAINTAIN CLIMB POWER UNTIL CHOSEN ALTITUDE ESTABLISHED

Throttle:  REDUCE MANIFOLD PRESSURE TO CRUISE SETTING (See figure 4.3 for 

recommended cruise power settings).

Mixture (With EGT Gauge):  The mixture should be slowly but deliberately leaned to 

establish peak EGT if a gauge is available. The mixture should then be adjusted to 

provide smooth operation at the desired cruise power setting.

Mixture (Without an EGT Gauge):  The mixture should be slowly but deliberately 

leaned until engine roughness is noted. The mixture should then be enriched until 

the engine returns to smooth operation.  The cylinder head  temperatures should be 

monitored to ensure proper fuel/air mixture.

Carburetor Heat:  The use of carburetor heat may be required to prevent the 

formation of ice on the air throttle valve if the air temperature is between 20 and  

90 ºF and the humidity is high.

After cruise power and mixture have been set, allow the engine to 

stabilize and monitor manifold pressure, RPM, and engine temperatures. 

 

NOTE: There are many operating and physical parameters that can affect 

engine life and airworthiness.  Some of the physical parameters cannot always 

be checked or monitored.  One of the best ways to monitor engine health is to 

have Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) probes in each cylinder head.  An EGT 

gauge is also very useful, but more so for fuel injected engines.

NOTE: There are some that advocate operating on the lean side of peak EGT. 

Although theoretically acceptable, it is generally not possible to operate lean-

of-peak with an engine using a carburetor.

Depending on the airplane, transition at the proper speed to climb attitude.

Throttle: REDUCE TO 2500 RPM WHEN ACCEPTABLE CLIMB ESTABLISHED

Airspeed: MAINTAIN ADEQUATE FOR ENGINE COOLING

NOTE: These engines have been designed to cool adequately with airflow 

sufficient to provide a minimum of 6.5 inches of water pressure drop from 

above the cylinders to below
