Default RE: Engine Rich or Lean???

ORIGINAL: FILE IFR

On the ground and at a low idle (while secured), what happens when you go to full power quickly... cough, burble, excess smoke or die?

Does it go to full power instantly with no 'ramp-up' in speed??

Again on the ground From full power to idle, when AFTER the stick is brought to idle will the engine speed be the same or slowly sag???
This is the test you should use. Smoke from idle is usually common in the air.[quote]ORIGINAL: FILE IFR
