OK so I made the GIANT LEAP from a '81 152 to the '02 172R
. Ohhhhh moving map GPS; leather seats; double the range; seats that actually slide.....
Anyways there's something in the POH about making sure the engine 'idles' prior to takeoff. What defines engine idling? What if, at idle power, the RPMs vary +-200RPM or so? What defines 'not idling'? And can you still fly it, just without using full idle power?
