If you have participated in a group flight that had older piston style aircraft or just like to fly smaller aircraft but never understood how to properly lean the aircraft, this is for you! Now to clear this up a bit, not knowing how to properly lean the mixture on a piston powered aircraft is nothing to be embarrassed about. Many people think that proper leaning of the air/fuel mixture is some overly complex thing that requires hours upon hours of ground school training. The truth is, it's quite simple and while there are more complex ways to do fuel mixture leaning that might bring slightly better performance, this following video will give you everything you need to properly and safely set the fuel mixture in any piston powered aircraft.
I hope this video was as informative and easy to understand for you as it was for me, this video helped me impress my flight instructor on one of my more recent flights as of this posting. If you have any comments and or questions regarding the tuning of the mixure please feel free to reply.
