It matches your best performance altitude with your best speed pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyattcooper Posted August 22 Report Share Posted August 22 Hi, Since your current RPM is 5800 and you want to lower it to 5500, you'll need to decrease the throttle slightly. Start by reducing the throttle by about 5-10% and observe the RPM change. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
