Many of you got this right. Definately pull the carb. heat! This is sometimes also called the "alternate air". The engine will only lose about 150/200 rpm and your airplane should still climb out, although a bit flatter. The question was presented to me here in Delaware where we are 55 feet above sea level. Those that live in Denver may end up in the stumps. The examiner went on to say that this situation would probably never happen. However, the reason he always asked it was to determine the pilot's mechanical knowledge of the airplane. George Frebert
P.S. The coupe flew beautifully Sunday. On the way home a Cessna 172 was off my left wing about a half mile at 3,000 feet, apparently heading back to Dover. I was rumnning 2450 rpm and he never got away from me! I had never taken on a 172 before and that was a bit of a surprise. I was working Philadelphia approach radar for traffic vectors, and he was not. So I did not get his tail number. ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com
