Rough engine on run-up

[AlexUM]

Hey guys!

Aerozepplin, thanks for those hints! Guess I'll spend the night reading then.

A&C: You're right, lecture of the flight manual is not optional. However, being only taught the basics about leaning, I want to be on the safe side, as many other greenhorns, and prefer to fly a bit too rich before I know more about the subject. But, until now, my fuel numbers always worked out

And to continue with those 3000ft: That's about 500ft above the pattern altitude of our surrounding fields and I will most probably have gone through my inbound-checklist already a couple of minutes ago when I started my descend.

If I go x-c I want to climb as high as possible. If there's somewhat minimum VMC, I just won't fly. 3000ft for me means patternwork and practicing maneuvers, so no leaning as I'll hit the throttle quite often.

So yes, you're right, there is no reason why not to lean at any altitude, but I guess it always depends on local factors, as so many other things

BackPacker: The guts it is then

Going for a beer ...
