CRUISE
Normal
cruise
is
performed
between
55%
and
80%
of
the
rated
MCP.
However,
any
power
setting
within
the
green
arc
ranges
on
the
manifold
pressure
indicator
and
tachometer
may
be
used.
The
power
setting
and
corresponding
fuel
consumption
for
various
altitudes
can
be
determined
by
using
the
data
in
Section
5,
NOTE
Cruise
flight
should
use
75%
power
as
much
as
possible
until
the
engine
has
operated
for
a
total
of
50
hours
or
oil
consumption
has
stabilized.
Operation
at
this
higher
power
will
ensure
proper
seating
of
the
piston
rings
and
is
applicable
to
new
engines,
and
engines
in
service
following
cylinder
replacement
or
top
overhaul
of
one
or
more
cylinders.
The
Cruise
Performance
charts
in
Section
5
provide
the
pilot
with
flight
planning
information
for
the
Model
182T
in
still
air
with
speed
fairings
installed.
Power,
altitude,
and
winds
determine
the
time
and
fuel
needed
to
complete
any
flight.
The
Cruise
Performance
Table,
Figure
4-3,
shows
the
true
airspeed
and
nautical
miles
per
gallon
during
cruise
for
various
altitudes
and
percent
powers,
and
is
based
on
standard
conditions
and
zero
wind.
This
table
should
be
used
as
a
guide,
along
with
the
available
winds
aloft
information,
to
determine
the
most
favorable
altitude
and
power
setting
for
a
given
trip.
The
selection
of
cruise
altitude
on
the
basis
of
the
most
favorable
wind
conditions
and
the
use
of
low
power
settings
are
significant
factors
that
should
be
considered
on
every
trip
to
reduce
fuel
consumption.
In
addition
to
power
settings,
proper
leaning
techniques
also
contribute
to
greater
range
and
are
figured
into
cruise
performance
tables.
To
achieve
the
recommended
lean
mixture
fuel
consumption
figures
shown
in
Section
5,
the
mixture
should
be
leaned
using
the
Exhaust
Gas
Temperature
(EGT)
indicator
as
noted.
