From there I simply use the "View" menu to kickoff Google Earth. Pretty colrs and 'skirts' can be applied to the track/path using the edit function in GE. Good luck.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03380749122515277390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17026550.post-1142364806637026862006-03-14T14:33:00.000-05:002006-03-14T14:33:00.000-05:00Interesting flight, thanks.I've got to figure out ...Interesting flight, thanks.<BR/><BR/>I've got to figure out how to do the Google Earth maps for my flights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17026550.post-1142105623487448652006-03-11T14:33:00.000-05:002006-03-11T14:33:00.000-05:00Sounds like a good workout!Regarding leaning, most...Sounds like a good workout!<BR/><BR/>Regarding leaning, most 172 POHs say to lean above 3000'. If you don't lean a least a bit during the climb, you're wasting fuel and reducing performance.<BR/><BR/>If the plane has CHT read-outs for each cylinder, you can be more precise about leaning.<BR/><BR/>Some of the unburned fuel is cooling the cylinder heads and valves. If the outside air temp is cool, you can lean more aggressively. If the OAT is hot or the engine is running warm, leave the mixture a bit richer.Avimentorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508862704398151334noreply@blogger.com
