In-Flight Test Procedures.

Structured Mixture, Ignition & Induction Diagnostic Suite for Piston Aircraft

A complete set of in-flight diagnostic procedures and standardised test cards designed for aircraft owners who want structured engine data under controlled cruise conditions. This suite enables the systematic evaluation of mixture distribution (GAMI Spread), ignition system performance under lean stress, and induction system integrity, while documenting cylinder-specific EGT behaviour in a repeatable and disciplined manner.

Built for execution at or below 65% power in stable cruise.

General Aviation’s Operational Clarity Tools.

A practical diagnostic suite for pilot-owners who want structured engine data — not assumptions.

These in-flight test procedures help you evaluate mixture distribution, ignition performance, and induction system integrity under controlled cruise conditions.

Replace Guesswork With Measured Data

Structured testing allows you to understand:

  • Where mixture imbalance originates
  • Whether ignition performance is stable under lean stress
  • Whether induction leaks affect specific cylinders

Who this is For

Owners who want to understand their engine beyond annual inspections.

Operators using engine monitor data and lean-of-peak procedures.

Pilots who prefer measurable data over anecdotal maintenance advice.

Those noticing roughness, or unexplained performance variation.

Graduate-level training and evidence-based guidance. A clear advantage for any serious pilot-owner.
