Leaning is a function not well taught or even understood at some flight training organisations. I recently conducted some Commercial cross country training for a 300 hr PPL, who had never been taught to lean, and didnt know how!
Probably in the late 70's there was a SE aircraft (piper?) that suffered fuel exhaustion and crash-landed in a Brisbane suburban street. There would have been more than enough fuel normally, but the pilot left the mixture FULL RICH for the entire flight.
I gave away all my Crash Comics to Pinky the Pilot, so if he's lurking here he might be able to look it up and add some more detail.
