Default RE: static RPM and elevation

ORIGINAL: airlyons

Hello,

Can anyone say for sure whether RPM stays the same with elevation or whether it will decrease the higher you go? (mixture being accounted for and leaned at the higher altitude)

Thanks,

Chris
My experience is that RPM remains roughly the same when you go higher, for a given prop, but the thrust is down. Figgers when you give it some thought.
