I have read in many of the break in processes that you should avoid long cruise descents at lower MPs. What is the best way to get a FP bird back on the ground?
I am guessing, slowly retard RPM at a constant altitude. Will reduce CHT with out shock cooling and will slowly drop MP as the RPMs and speed drops. Once slow enough, start to drop and fly a continuous descent to landing. It sounds like the intent is when at higher RPM (65%+ you want the MP up there as well to keep the ring seated). no high power dives that would unload the prop/engine at high RPMs.
Do I have that correct? Or is there a better way.
