Teaching on this subject is very poor. Welcome the FADEC.
In my PPL Air Technology night class when we were discussing air/fuel mixtures I asked the instructor how come we have to lean manually in our training aircraft when my car's engine does it automatically 20 times a second? He didn't answer, he just smiled at me.
