Leaning the Mixture for a High Density Altitude Takeoff Here's a short video showing you several ways to lean your airplane's mixture for a high density altitude takeoff. This piece covers leaning for normally aspirated engines having fixed pitch and constant speed propellers.
GoPro Aviation Mount Bundle With the MyPilotPro Bundle you get the MyPilotPro Swivel, MyPilotPro Mount, and MypilotPro Wrench at an almost 20% savings from retail!
