So before (well, currently in many aircraft!) all this whizz bang all cylinder monitoring, how did someone run the engine properly/safely?

If the aircraft has that gear but you don't know how to use it, how are you meant to run the engine?


AFM figures surely.


Please forgive my snobby turbine brain. Pistons were so a decade ago!
The old saying goes 'you don't know what you don't know'. You can forgive someone for being none the wiser however you have your head stuck so far up your ass its no surprise that dealing with your own ignorance isn't high on your priority list.

Given you're such a wise guy why don't you explain how the laws of chemistry and physics change when the AFM of the 520 powered Malibu mandated LOP operation or AFMs of Navajos permit LOP operation?

I mean, its in the AFM right? You'd would have been a pretty rad driver of one of those Malibus because people died from not following that one.
