Default Flying a PA-28 140 from Maine to Georgia in a week end ...


I contend a better way to set power is needed in fixed pitch A/C. We
had a manifold pressure gage in our 172. Others thought it was
guilding a lily, but fuel consumption could be predicted within maybe 4
percent. A tachometer is so variable w altitude.
