THE

COMANCHE
SECTION
IIl
In
aircraft
with
fuel
injection,
during
a
normal
take
-off
with
full
rich
mixture
the
pointer
on
the
fuel
flow
meter
will
stabilize
between
the
sea
level
mark
and
the
red
line.
This
setting
gives
a
slightly
rich
mixture
to
aid
in
fuel
cooling
the
engine
and
is
recommended
for
all
normal
take-offs
at
sea
level.
When
taking
off
from
a
high
altitude
field,
(example
4,000
feet),
the
mixture
should
be
leaned
to
obtain
maximum
power.
This
is
done
during
the
pre-take-off
check.
Apply
full
throttle,
then
move
mixture
control
towards
the
lean
position
until
the
fuel
flow
pointer
has
stabilized
at
the
4,000
foot
mark,
located
between
the
19-1/2
and
20
gallon
marks.
Leave
the
mixture
in
this
position
and
proceed
with
the
take-off.
Caution
should
be
used
when
operating
with
the
mixture
leaned
so
that
the
engine
is
not
overheated.
STALLS
All
controls
are
effective
at
speeds
down
through
the
stalling
speed,
and
stalls
are
gentle
and
easily
controlled.
