I recently bought into a Mooney partnership of a M20C. It has a single cylinder EGT/CHT gauge setup.
I'm coming from a G1000 equipped C182 where we had all sorts of bells and whistles, so I apologize if this question is basic.
The POH states to lean ROP by 100 degrees, however, do not lean above 75% HP. The performance tables show nearly all the RPM/MP settings that I would use cross country below 10K feet being above 75% HP. This is quite different than the C182 where the performance numbers were all 50 degrees ROP irregardless of power setting.
So, do people lean above 75% power? If so, what's your rule of thumb (obviously keeping the CHTs below 400 is a good idea...)
If you don't lean, what type of temps and fuel economy do you see?
OR, an I missing something?
