I had actually gone to their website before I posted that just to make sure they hadn't expanded. The page I got only talked about props!

I lean almost 1.5 inches up here. I would say it is needed. I just bought a Bravo and brought it home to COS. I'd love to get some insight on operations at our altitudes. Quote

FoxMike Posted February 16, 2022 Report Posted February 16, 2022 I taxi my Bravo around lean and after runup I set the mixture very lean. The theory is if I get onto the runway get distracted and open the throttle before I go full rich on mixture the engine will quit before any damaged is caused. At takeoff I use full rich till I get the airplane cleaned up then I do a power reduction. With Class B right overhead I keep the power down till I get quite a ways from the airport. CFO has lots of student traffic and we are all constrained to under 7000' so flying at moderate speed makes sense. Quote
