Walter,
Thanks for dropping by. I always enjoy reading about this topic.
I've seen, but can't lay my hands on, a pretty simply method for getting to LOP. Sorta a "close your eyes" method.... I think it's called the "big pull". Last time I read about it, it seemed most who tried it, could repeat their results quite nicely vs. the labor intensive way of watching the engine monitor like a hawk.
I'm sure you've described it a million times, so you must have some "boiler plate" somewhere that you can cut and paste and save your fingers.
For those of us, just getting used to the concepts. Maybe a quick primer is in order? If you feel so inclinded, perhaps, this is justification for a "new thread"?
Anyway, if my memory serves me, you set up from climb to cruise, let your airspeed build, then you "pull the red knob, until you feel a slowdown (using your most sensative instrument in the airplane, your butt ), and basically you are LOP"? Can't be that easy can it? I'll assume it means you have worked to get to a balanced F:A ratio prior?
Thanks in advance,
Walter, thanks again for the comments, at your request, I've started this as a new thread.
Now refresh my memory, what they heck is "BMP"? Big Mixture Pull maybe?
