Does anyone out there have power setting and fuel flow data for a
Continental IO-520A engine? These were installed on some 1970's era
Bonanzas, and someone whose opinion I respect mentioned that the power
setting and fuel flow data in the aircraft POH were based more on
marketing requirements than sound operating practice - that is to say,
they did not conform to Continental recommendations and were not good
for the long term health of the engine.

That sounds like the old ROP/LOP thread that ran in here a while back. Is
that the comparison you're looking for?

The notion of POH setting being set by the marketing department sounds like
John Deakin over at AVWeb.
