- Explanation of how to lean the airplane by both EGT and engine RPM.
Thinking of becoming a pilot?

As per request, new videos with better audio and video quality will be coming soon! Stay tuned!
This video regarding the leaning process, is by far the best I have found on You Tube. Thank you form your time.
Only that the video is sadly incorrect. I know that this is what is taught at most flight schools but there are charts showing how this is bad for the engine. She wrongly assumes the EGT (exhaust) peak temp. is also peak cylinder temp. The peak cylinder temp. is actually achieved at about 50 degrees rich of peak EGT. This is the worst possible setting for engine longevity. You should rather go 10-25 degrees leaner than peak EGT. Unless you are in a climb where you want a really rich mixture for max power but that's like 125 -150 degrees rich of peak.
I am over 50 and wanting to get my Private Pilots Certificate starting next year. I found your channel and I really enjoy how you take different principles and break them down into such a simple form. This is helping to get me excited about my Journey as well as prepare me for all I will have to learn which should help reinforce what I will be learning. Thank you for the channel and work to post these videos!
Have you started flying lessons? I’m 70 and just started…8 hrs already.🏴
@@robinmyman Congrats, No I have not. I want to make sure I am ready so once I start I can stat on track and always moving forward and right now I cannot do that. Thanks for asking.
Excellent presentation. This is the perfect level of detail. Thank you!
I was so confused... finally. Thank you
You are freaking awesome! Thank you so much for sharing all this info!
Great video Cyndy. Very easy to understand the way you explain it. Yes..very important protocol especially lean at 3000' MSL and above... Thank you Cyndy! and remember to make it rich again as you descend. Great job Cyndy.
I'm just using your video it for MSFS2020 but it helped me a lot in understanding EGT, thank you!
I don't think there's any add-on on MFS which would allow you to use properly leaning technique. Believe me, I've tried.
Your explanations are brilliant.
I'm so happy I found this...
thank you for your immensely helpful video
this is the best explanation 👍👍👍👍👍👍
you are my *role model* in aviation in my life.
excellent explanation!
Awesome teacher!! I will continue to enjoy your videos as you live in CFI infamy on youtube! I hope you are enjoying wherever you are now!✈️🏝️ Your dedication to your audience is remarkable!🙏🏻🥇🏆
brilliant explanations
great explainatiom ... the first time i wact it i didnt understand anything .. i watch it a secomd time after fsx practice and other simple tuto on the subject... and the information becomme to make sense usefull
thank you for these lessons
Clear and good explanation of leaning. By the way, the tick marks on the EGT gauge is called division, not dividend.
ychsia who cares
@@NoBody-ht1oh I do. Accuracy is important. :)
@@everbetter8590 if you can’t tell that the appropriate word is division you shouldn’t be flying
She was a commercial Pilot my friend.@@NoBody-ht1oh Slip of tongue happens to all of us.
Your an awesome pilot!!
very good explanation, thank you !
very well prepared
Profe, usted es mi CFII virtual!!!
The best! Thanks a lot!
I love your content
Gracias eres una buena maestra me encantan tus videos saludos desde MMMM
Very Helpful and very well explained.
You are amazing!
Thanks! Great explanations 👍🏼
Thanks - Good explanation.
Anyone, if you’re in flight and leaned, and about to descend, would you enrich fully prior to descent or incrementally as you’re descending? Thank you.
AWESOME thank you.. I love her
thank you !!!!
thank you so much for sharing please... Thank you
Thank you very much
Hi there, if you see this comment, I have a question, when you say throttle controls the air let into the combustion process, how does it work as when you have limited air at higher altitude, like if you run at full throttle at a lower altitude would you let in more oxygen compared to higher? And as you climb would you change your mixture setting?
Throttle is just opening the air admission. Of course, you can open the throttle all the way, at 60,000 you won't get much air anyway.
Thanks 👍.
One question... what was that sound at 35 seconds in? LOL
So good!
very good
This is such a good video in conjunction with From the Ground up. The book is a bit wordy thou lol
Excellent advice! One question, though: Suppose you're flying some really old plane (like a DC-3 or an Electra 10-E) which doesn't have an EGT gauge, but has a Cambridge gas analyzer instead (that was an instrument invented in the mid-30s to do pretty much what the EGT gauge does now, but the way it worked was completely different) -- how do you use that to lean the engine?
Lean till the RPM drops and then ease in more fuel until RPM goes back to what you had.
How do you use the Cambridge gas analyzer, though?
agentorange153 I have a Stearman and the way you do it on the Radial is set the RPM then lean until the engine stumbles then push the mixture forward until the engine runs smooth, then push the mixture in about another 1/2 inch in .
Who cares
Very educative video! I only have one little question still on my mind, why does the RPM increase slightly when you lean the mixture? To me this seems a bit counterintuitive as you're putting less fuel into the engine.
Becouse fuel can't burning(burning is chemical reaction) without air, so there is optimal ratio air and fuel.
the engine will produce less rpm if there is more fuel and uneven mixture i.e less air.
for example- if you have too much wood in a fire, the temperature you receive will be less as it will smother the fire
on the other hand, when you lean the mixture, its like taking out excessive wood from a fire to make it attain a certain temperature.
when we lean the mixture, it is now getting optimum fuel to perform the cycle. and hence it hsows in the performance in the form of increased RPM
@@flywithgaurav163 Thanks for the very clear explanation! I think I understand it now
Hello, I want to ask about when I flying x country and I do lean according POH and Can we change the RPM to controll our desired speed?
That's leaning to peak for first 2 examples, not ideal.
Hi what do you mean?
Yes why is that?

good video tho' the echo while she was talking was a little irritating, very well explained anyway.
Cześć
Are you a pilot for American?
Would you lean for a very long slow climb?
Hi Thomas,
Consider the Density Altitude of the air you are climbing through and listen to your engine. If you are climbing high, where the air becomes thinner, your engine may struggle to show a climb because the mixture is too rich. I often lean a little as I climb above around 5,000 feet, especially on high Density Altitude days. If you choose to lean a little as you climb, you should notice an improved climb performance compared to not leaning at all. But, be sure you don't over lean on the climb because your engine needs extra fuel on the extended climb to help it stay cool!
Once again, a great presentation, Cyndy. I appreciate your clear/concise teaching style, and always learn whenever I watch your videos. Thank you!
I Hope Pilot Love me
The problem with the listening method is that if you rent you cant really get an ear for it versus when you own it,
