Bush flying in cold weather conditions.
Hi, I am just a bit curious about how you deal with the engine management side of things (piston) in serious cold weather conditions such as experienced all over N America.
I have experience of extremely hot weather ops in Africa mainly in a 206 with the Continental 540. We used to have a great deal of trouble staying out of the red and as we operated from above 3000ft in field elevation and sometimes as hot as 46 degrees Centigrade I got used to a very underpowered aircraft. Having said that you could still take very big loads out and I wondered what it would be like in arctic temperatures at sea level, do you have to use partial power settings. I should think a continental 540 has tons of grunt in that situation.
Just curious.
