Mixture control bottoms-out against the firewall?
"Mark Hansen" wrote in message ...
I have a maintenance question.
I read somewhere that the mixture control should not bottom-out against
the firewall when full rich, as the pilot would not be able to tell if
the full-rich position was achieved, or if the knob just hit the firewall
stop.
However, I'm wondering if this is just a rule of thumb, or if there is
an actual FAR which dictates it, and which FAR that is?
Thanks,

The FARs dictate that maintenance be performed per the manual, and if the manual says so, then the FAA says so...
