What might be best method for transitioning from lean cruise low rpm, to app/landing config?
(full rich, prop full forward, boost down)
ie, Trying to achieve smooth transition in the rpms on approach/landing when "swapping" back from lean cruise.
MkIIb
Mixture to Rich
Pitch up.
Wait for RPM to settle.
Power Up.
If you want to reduce power instead of increase it, then
Mixture to Rich
Power down
Watch for Boost to drop.
Pitch down.
On descent keep a reasonable amount of boost to prevent driving the engine with the airscrew and a reasonable speed to aid cooling.
Wash off speed with a break turn if necessary when ready to begin circuit.. or better still do a run and break type circuit.
