No not true for carburated engines. Most Cherokees are Carburated that is why I said since you have xxxxx i was specifically referring to the fuel injection as qualifier. Why would you would jump to any other conclusion?
How is it not true on carbureted engines? The main limit that carbureted engines is they won't run LOP well due to poor mixture distribution.
For the most part, we talk about LOP with injected engines, though, so I should have quantified that.
red box always deserves a discussion with or without an EA...BTW most long range WWII military had to use LOP without EA's this is not new.
When did I say LOP was a new concept? It's also not new on piston engines without EAs, by the way. Go read the POH for a PA-31-310 - says it right in there as an option, and Navajos do run LOP nicely. However, on the whole, the planes that actually have detonation concerns (primarily the turbocharged ones) have been seen in the industry to run more conservative rich mixtures. I agree with this philosophy for the engines that have detonation concerns (and that pretty much comes down to Navajos, a couple other high-powered turbo Lycomings, and the various high-powered turbo Continentals).
I don't mind a review when I need one but this sounds a little condescending. this is covered in basic ppl ground school, besides any owner with high performance let alone with a Turbo has had plenty of review on lean operations, induction, heating and baffles.
Detonation and engine management is covered extremely poorly in private pilot ground school by people who, for the most part, understand it very poorly themselves. From what I've seen, most people have no clue about how detonation actually manifests itself. Any owner of a high performance engine, especially turbocharged, I typically find included in that category.
This isn't the fault of any individual pilot, it's unfortunately something that's been going on for a long time due to a propagation of a lack of understanding. The folks in Ada on the whole do a good job of educating people on engines and fighting this ignoranche. I disagree with a few things that they promote, but that's fine, because I don't disagree with it from a safety, more just from a point of operation.
My point that made question whether you understand what you're suggesting is that simply pulling back 1 gph isn't necessarily a good idea at all, for reasons beyond detonation.
And people wonder why Bruce left...
I was getting ready to go flying with a friend and didn't take much time. If they put it back in my hangar, I will this weekend.
