Pre-Flight
I just purchased a 1981 Turbo Saratoga (PA32R-301T). This is the first plane with a turbo-charged engine that I've owned and I wanted to get some thoughts on the best way to manage this engine. I know what the POH says but I'm looking for what people recommend for all phases of flight to manage MAP, RPM, CHT, EGT & TIT. Is lean of peak even an option or advisable in this engine? I have a JPI 830 which seems like it will be an invaluable tool to help me optimize my performance.
My goal is to find the balancing point between speed, fuel efficiency and engine life. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
