The low end of the green arc is usually 20 that is 2000 RPM. I'll been told that is the lowest you want to operate because of cooling, combustion temps, lead on plugs, oil pressure, sustain flight, what ever... But that being said, that number might have more meaning pulling a 172 through the sky but it seems I can dial back the RV to 1800-1600 on a long approach without noticing any side effects. Any thoughts?
