From the PIM:
"Normal climbs are performed at 85-95 KIAS with flaps up, 23 In. Hg. or full throttle (whichever is less) and 2400 RPM for the best combination of performance, visibility and engine cooling. The mixture should be set to 15 GPH or full rich (whichever is less) untl reaching the altitude at which full throttle is reachied, after which not further adjustment of the mixture control is needed."
So, I take this to mean that once I wish to transition to an enroute climb (which I do at 1,000' AGL), I go to the top of the green on the black and blue knobs (23/24) and lean to 15 GPH. Of course, I know I can keep pushing the thorttle in to maintain 23".
What I have been doing is basically the above, except for the leaning. I have been leaning a little bit every thousand feet once above 3,000' AGL. Why do you think they recommend the 15 GPH set-it-and-forget-it method?
