Operation at peak EGT provides the best fuel economy. This
results1
in approximately 4% greater range than shown in this handbook
accompanied by approximately a 3 knot decrease in speed.
EXHAUST GAS

50°F Rich of Peak EGT
Peak EGT
125°F
RICH
Under some conditions, engine roughness may occur while
operating at peak EGT. In this case, operate at the Recommended
Lean mixture.
NOTE
Any change in altitude or power setting will require
a change in the recommended lean mixture setting
and a recheck of the EGT setting.
The EGT indicators take several seconds, after a
mixture adjustment, to start to show exhaust gas
temperature changes. Finding peak EGT and
adjusting the mixiure io ine
appiicable setting
should take approximately one minute when the
adjustments are made carefully and accurately.
Adjusting the mixture quickly is not recommended.
