Pressure Altitude or Density Altitude
I am becoming confused by everything I am reading.
When I set cruise power, do I set the MP and RPM for the pressure altitude I am cruising at? Or do I set it for the calculated density altitude? Or, does density altitude only affect mixture/leaning? I know full throttle (MP) altitude is affected by temperature (density altitude), which is what leads me to ask the question. What confuses me is the POH refers to pressure altitude.
