As most of us know that general rule of thumb TAS increase 2% per 1000 ft
And as altitude increase, air gets less denser, hence density altitude increase
Question:
Next, as altitude increase, air is less than, less oxygen for combustion, therefore we lean the mixture, thus engine performance will decrease, am i right? Therefore would't it be ideal to just fly at a lower altitude?
