Advanced pilot seminar

[Jim Rainer]

Nick - two questions that didn't get answered: Is your 1975 337 a "P" or Turbo or just normally aspirated and secondly, did you have engine monitors before you took the course?

GAMI injectors will be required to make LOP work. My normally aspirated engines run too rough LOP. The injectors would smooth things out, I believe. My average fuel burn, block to block, is 20 gph. I fly about 100 hrs in a busy year. I don't have engine monitors but wish I did. I don't know that even if I had monitors and GAMIs whether or not I'd fly LOP. I do know that at 100 hours per year, LOP wouldn't pay for the equipment and training. I think Jerry DeSantis has the right idea - fly a whole lot each year. I don't fly enough and don't expect my engines to run much beyond TBO, LOP or ROP.

I am glad you got so much out of the seminar. Sounds really worthwhile if one is the least bit interested in LOP operation.
