LOP can be used on some engines for longest range but requires careful monitoring.
This is one of the more interesting beliefs that we discuss in class. The facts are that ROP operations require you to be more careful than were you being LOP.

Until you have watched the effects of mixture control on a well instrumented engine Dyno with say a turbocharged engine fitted up, you will find that a bit hard to accept. Once you have done this and done some serious detonation testing and watched the effect of mixture and detonation, your mind will be changed forever.

There are a few dozen freshly enlightened pilots in the world after last weekend who would fit that bill. Jut like ultralights
