Turbocharger ops below critical alt
-
Hello!
I just want to confirm if I got the manual right. When I fly the unpressurized TC version and stay below 10.000ft - I let mixture in full rich for climb and if a power reduction is needed for cruise I should also lean mixture?Or is it better to leave mixture in full rich also for cruise when below critical alt and reduce power without leaning?
I think critical alt is at around 20.000ft?
Thank you very much!

Even in a TC aircraft, below critical altitude you would want to lean the aircraft in cruise. Otherwise your fuel burns will be too high. When leaning do keep an eye on the turbine temp so as to not exceed that value.

Thank you!
If I get it right the TIT (Turbine Inlet Temp) is only shown on the JPI EDM-760? -
I thought it's the last column on the 800, but I need to study the manual again because it's been a bit.

You are right, it is the last column, just found this part in the manual - Quote:
"The seventh column will display the oil temperature on a percent scale only when a turbocharger is not installed, otherwise, TIT will be displayed with the column, and oil temperature will be displayed as the single segment."
