Maybe this is one area where some hard data can be
had and do some good.
Anyone with a well enough instrumented engine can
plot the CHT heating and cooling rate of change at any given
time.
Test for this:
1: on engine start with a cold engine.
2: same but with a fast idle.
3: going full power for takeoff.
4: large power reduction from cruise.
5: shutdown.
My bets are on #3 and I suspect this one will make
the others look insignificant.
I for one, would appreciate some
response.
Thanks,
Mark Ravinski
