Title: E6B max cruise settings
Post by: Vinkman on September 23, 2011, 07:26:15 AM

The E6B lists setting for RPM and manifold pressure to attain max cruise distance. Does anyone know if these setting should change with altitude?

Generally no, they do not change.

You may reach an altitude where you are no longer able to maintain manifold pressure.
