Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Flight Operations Manual
Section 3 Standard Operating Procedures
Cruise
Complete the Cruise checklist as a flow when time and workload
permit. Allow the aircraft to accelerate to cruise speeds before setting
the desired cruise power setting. Ensure adequate fuel reserves
remain for the intended destination. Normal cruise power settings are
between 65% - 85% power with mixture setting for best power or best
economy.
For engine break-in, cruise at a minimum of 75% power until the
engine has been operated for at least 25 hours or until oil consumption
stabilizes. Operation at higher power will ensure proper seating of the
rings, is applicable to new engines, and engines in service following
cylinder replacement or top overhaul of one or more cylinders.
