Fuel Flow and Peak EGT

At 65% you want to be leaner than peak EGT or richer than 100 ROP for best engine health. At 75% you want to be leaner than 40 LOP or richer than 180 ROP. There are other power settings with their own combos but these are the two most used. At your stated 65% get yourself about 15-20 LOP. That's good for the engine and the loss of airspeed is negligible. You can go leaner but you'll start to notice a speed loss. Do these 65% v. 75% ROP & LOP temp limits have any relation to compression ratio of the engine? No, not really. In another words, if my engine is 7:1 CR & running at 75% power, can I run at temp limits for an engine that is 8.5:1 CR running at 65%? Run at the temp limits defined (EGT/CHT) in your POH, where ever that fall on the LOP graph. http://www.avweb.com/news/pelican/182084-1.html (Plus the entire engine series defined in the sidebar on the right). -- Matt Barrow Performace Homes, LLC.
