Another lean of peak question
The logical time to put in an engine analyzer will be during annual when the other things are being done. I just came out of annual, so it will be a while, unless I decide to ground the airplane for a few weeks at least.
For 25+ years I've run my turbo 337 ROP at 75% around 100F ROP. All has been fine.to get I have a dual engine SHADIN (feeds the avidyne IFD). I find the leaner engine and richen it to 100F. Then make the richer one match that, the same fuel flows and keep my fuel math simple. === TCM in video and documents say that you cant hurt your engine at 65% or less no matter how much you lean. I already have GAMI in front and rear (last annual). So for an upcoming trip I could OPTION A. Continue fast at 75% 100F ROP, as I have for years, or OPTION B. Slow a bit, at 65% or less and LOP until engines (w GAMI's) start to wobble, then richen a hair. Remember, according to all sources, no detonation below 65%. Keeping an eye on my single CHT for each engine. What are the risks, if any? What say you all?
