LOP and ROP

[cs-xce]

Hi.
I have a SV 100 and a SV 70 instaled. On my first flight, on circuit pattern, I red LOP 45%. The numbers means the % of power (180hpX45%) correct? The LOP means a automatic process of leaning. How is possible LOP if I had the mixture full rich? and the EGT were normal?
any explanation?
Thanks

Re: LOP and LOP

The % power and LOP/ROP calculations use the following numbers:

Manifold Pressure
Altitude
OAT
RPM
Fuel Flow

If any of those are wrong, your readings will be wrong. Was your manifold pressure and fuel flow correct?

Do you have your HP number set in setup to be 180HP?

Thanks for your attention.
MP, altitude,OAT and RPM are correct.
May be the Fuel flow needs attention.
My question is also when you see LOP or ROP we can not quantify in terms of degrees? How LOP and how ROP?

:-?

In order to know how many degrees ROP or LOP you are, you must use the manual leaning function. Press ENGINE and then LEAN and the EGT display will switch to manual leaning mode. You then peak the engine manually and the SkyView keeps track of it for you.
