Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I like this plane, but I'm looking for the EGT gauge to lean in cruise. Can't find that or EGT.

I believe those gauges aren't installed on the Milviz Twin Comanche, which is more realistic than you might think, since older airplanes can have some seriously oddball instrument setups.

It's not mentioned in the MIilviz manual, but the upper and lower lines for each % power on the fuel flow gauge actually approximate the best power and best economy mixtures for a given power setting, so you can use those with the cruise chart in the manual to get the power setting you're looking for.

Yeah, thanks for that. I was uncertain, because there are references in the procedures to both EGT and CHT. I've since discovered that there's a servo regulator that automatically leans the mixture as you climb.
