Horsepower
You configure the Engine Horsepower from the Calibration > Horsepower Menu. You need to set the engine
type and rated HP. If you have an engine type that is in the list, please choose the appropriate engine. This
will allow the system to perform some calculations that are specific to that engine, such as % power
(Lycoming / Continental only) and special operating limitations (Rotax only). If your engine is not listed,
choose "Other."
Horsepower is used to do some of the % power calculations (Lycoming/Continental engines only) and the
auto Rich-of-Peak and Lean-of-Peak detection. Set it to the engine manufacturer's rated HP for initial usage.
You may need to adjust this number in order to get all calculations working correctly.
If you are getting an auto Lean-of-Peak indication that is coming on too early, before the engine actually
peaks while leaning, lower this number. It is not meant to be a measure of actual horsepower produced, as
engines that are more efficient will act as if they are lower horsepower in the calculation. This will be
particularly true if you are running a higher compression ratio than the stock charts are based upon.
