Thanks for the pointers. The articles are indeed quite good, but there
is something I do not understand. It seems the whole theory on LOP
operation is conditioned on having GAMI injectors, because the article
implies that you can not do LOP operations on "normal" engines because
of uneven fuel distribution causes roughness due to different cylinders
outputing different powers when you start leaning past peak. Am I
missing something here? What percentage of planes actually have GAMI
injectors?
The 1997 Cessna 182S that is new to the club I am in flies LOP quite
easily. To the best of my knowledge, this is a stock engine (not GAMI
equipped). It is only advantagous to fly this way if you are flying LONG
legs. The corresponding drop in cruise airspeed is not suited to short,
fast trips.
