Good point, it is certainly more subtle. I've experienced diesel injection
timing go bad, clogged fuel lines, out of fuel, blown radiator hoses

over the years. All resulted in the gradual loss of power, a scenario that
should be trained.

The answer is: Watch your airspeed.

Stefan;
You are an accident looking for a grid ref.
We know to watch the airspeed but what if it is "just adequate" to fly
safeyl but not maintain a full climb - you decide to chop the launch
and it speeds up -for a few seconds and then back to 48 knots?

Huh - chop or stay?
