Yes, it is perfectly safe (and desirable) to display EC2 MAP table while in-flight. This assumes you are in a flight situation where you can devote some of your attention to the instrument.

You will likely find that in-flight adjustments will be somewhat different than what you do on the ground since you can't really duplicate in-flight engine load conditions on the ground.

I I've done this on the ground (although not recently), but are you suggesting I do this in the air? I don't think this is what you meant, as I can't see that there would be any difference in the tuning at any given MAP point. I will take another closer look at the MAP table next time I'm out there. I'll also refresh my memory with the TurboSmart controller as well to ensure this wasn't the cause.

Thanks,

Have you looked at the EC2 MAP table up at the high end using the EM2? Make sure that there are no holes in the table up at that point. I would suggest putting the EM2 in map display and invoke Track Mode so that the display follows where the engine is actually running.
