Yep! Sorry 2450 is what I've used. Brain hiccup here. I'll be flying the plane again soon and I'll get another chance to take a look at this and play with numbers with a little more specificity. Thanks all. Gleaning some good info.

This seems like a basic question and I'm surprised you run into odd answers in a flight review. But then I also ask plenty of dumb questions (see above probably). That said, I look forward to every flight review I get. Every conversation with another pilot, and especially CFIs, is a chance to...

Thanks for the advice all. This is one of those times where in retrospect this will probably seem like a dumb question. But I'm here to ask dumb questions...so... At what point in learning to operate an O-470 did you decide that the POH saying "reducing throttle as soon as practical" meant...

For the record, I know 182s are not "slow, sad or weak". =)

OK, so I've flown this particular 182 a couple times since this last post, and I'm curious what kind of performance you all would say to expect out of a 1969 Skylane running at 23 inches and 2350 in a climb. What fpm and to what altitude do you usually get for cruise? The climb performance for...

re: limitations - Understood. The engine limitations section says only that the "normal operating range" is 15-23 in Hg. But apparently it's still ok to operate outside of "normal operating range" for ... an indeterminate amount of time. It causes increased engine wear but it won't ... err ...

So, everywhere I see with discussions about CHT, the temps referred to are in the 400 range. Is there anything inherently bad about CHTs running around 300? I'd assume maybe incomplete fuel burn and fouled plugs maybe? But no engine damage? Is it most likely that it's just that the single...

Interesting. You're correct of course, but it's confusing when a POH says something like "reduce power to 23" and 2450 rpm as soon as practical to reduce engine wear". "As soon as practical" definitely sounds like bad things will happen if you don't...but the POH doesn't give any clear...

Hi all, new here. Pretty impressive how much knowledge there is available on these boards. Looking forward to tapping into it. Thanks in advance. I am a low time pilot looking to get my high performance checkout soon. Lots of XPlane playing has set me up with likely bad habits but a collection...
