And I’m a wheelchair-bound, acne-stippled geek from Hicksville USA. I’m scared of flying and I don’t like getting my hands dirty.
In what way, precisely, do anyone’s handicaps affect the temperature of valves at various points on the lean curve?
In what way, precisely, do 19,000+ hours in some pilot’s logbook affect the temperature of valves at various points on the lean curve?
It’s been said before: A person without data is just another person with an unsupported opinion. That goes for everyone: People in wheelchairs, people with dyslexia and skygods with fat logbooks.
No amount of burnt valves and stuffed cylinders count for data, unless….
Unless there is objective evidence to show what burnt the valves and stuffed the cylinders.
Data collected from millions of hours of piston aero engine operations show at what mixture setting valves and CHTs on a piston aero engine are hottest. Nobody’s hours in command or years on the bench makes a schmick of difference to the validity and implications of that data.
If that hurts: Boo hoo.
