Above 3,000 ft...I am supposed to adjust the mixture. I lean the mixture, and the EGT needle drops. I climb to 6,000...and the needle has moved back closer to peak EGT. But THIS TIME, what If I ENRICHED the mixture? The needle would STILL drop, no?
So, the EGT needle would also move in the same direction (i.e.- drop)...however, we would be running RICH OF PEAK, right?
If my planned cruise was 9,500...I wouldn't wait to adjust the mixture UNTIL then, right? I'd adjust every 3,000 feet?
I assume the richer the mixture it is, the COOLER the exhaust gas temp.
