That’s what’s so hilarious. You’ll be confident of where you think the engine is running, but blissfully ignorant of where the engine is actually running.
More comedy gold: Quote:
1) Peak EGT is very lean already and
2) EGT is a terrible way to set mixture. You have no idea what the actual lambda (mixture) is at e.g. 50F ROP/LOP. However, it is the best we have in aircraft due to the lead in the fuel.
Seriously: that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks.
I'm happy to entertain you. Perhaps you can tell me what lambda corresponds to 50F ROP and 50 LOP?
How does lambda at peak EGT compare to the lambda for maximum power? Maximum efficiency?
