  3. Advanced Pilot Seminars The science appears complex; the solution is quite simple. The object is to identify a Target EGT that you can use during all takeoffs and climbs from any airport at any altitude. The Target EGT is that EGT value noted soon after takeoff at a sea level standard dayairport (use any one of the EGT readings). It’s as simple as the pilot making small adjustments (leaning) to the mixture in order to hold the Target EGT during the climb. You’ll climb faster on less fuel. Here’s how and why it works… from any airport. © 2003

  4. Advanced Pilot Seminars Don’t panic; hang in there! Let’s take it one step at a time. The science appears complex; the solution is quite simple. This chart is the graphed data from a JPI engine monitor. (Full rich mixture to 10,000 feet.) This is the EGT trace. (The mixture gets richer as the climb continues.) This is the CHT trace. (It gets cooler as the mixture naturally richens.) The RPM remains constant. Fuel flow remains constant. This is the MP trace. (It decreases normally in the climb.) This simple chart will be used to explain the science. (Click HERE when you’re ready to continue.) Data courtesy of Glenn Olsen © 2003

  5. Advanced Pilot Seminars The science appears complex; the solution is quite simple. A comparison flight. Another data chart; same airplane, same day. (Leaning the mixture to 10,000 feet.) This is the EGT trace. (It remains constant as the climb continues.) This is the CHT trace. (It varies little as the climb continues.) The RPM remains constant. Fuel flow decreases. This is the MP trace. (It decreases normally in the climb.) This second chart will be used to explain the science. (Click HERE when you’re ready to continue.) Data courtesy of Glenn Olsen © 2003

  6. Data courtesy of Glenn Olsen Same EGT values Carefully note the differences in mixture management. WOT = wide open throttle. Target EGT of 1340˚ F is maintained during the climb. A fool-proof method for leaning at high density altitude airports. Departing Leadville Use Target EGT to lean at high altitude airports Departing Denver Using target EGT works for all density altitude takeoffs That should take the mystery out of high DA leaning for T.O.

  7. Advanced Pilot Seminars Assuming your engine fuel flow is set correctly, make note of the EGT shortly after take-off from a sea level airport. That EGT number is the Target you will lean to when departing any airport–Key West (sea level) to Leadville (9,927 feet msl). Holding that value by leaning in the climb will ensure a mixture setting that gives you a faster climb on less fuel and is healthy for the engine . At any airport at any altitude, simply add power and lean to your Target EGT and start the take-off roll. You are no longer guessing at your mixture management. Click here to review! © 2003

  8. Advanced Pilot Seminars Once identified, the “memorized” target EGT takeoff leaning method can be relied upon to give the same good takeoff performance regardless of changes in altitude/temperature – hot day or cold – winter or summer at Nassau, Melbourne, Zurich, La Paz, or even departing after visiting the Tibetan Monks. © 2003

  9. This presentation is a short example of the valuable information presented during the Engine Management Made Easy course taught by Advanced Pilot Seminars. Is safety important to you? Would you like to be a more confident pilot? Would you like to be a more comfortable pilot? Do you like to learn?
