With all due respect I must disagree with your comment about the signifigance of the mixture check proceedure that Big Pistons has described.
There is zero difference between any location on the planet when it comes to understanding the mechanical workings of an engine.
I would suggest that knowing how the mixture control works and how the engine should respond to the mixture control is very important.
If it is a Canadian thing then maybe landing on the nose wheel and collapsing same is a British thing?
I ask this based on the AIIB accident / incident reports, and feel that it is fair comment.
