April 2, 201412 yr From the aircrafts I've been flying so far, I;m used to lean the fuel flow on the fuel flow meter. However, in the C90B the mixture-, or condition lever doesn't seem to have any effect on this gauge. How do I know the right setting for this lever? Cheers! Maarten
April 2, 201412 yr The fuel flow in a turboprop is controlled more by the power setting than the mixture/condition lever. Never have flown a real turboprop, the condition lever is mainly used at start-up and ground idle operations. When you are ready to takeoff, you then place it into the flight idle range, ( I think that is the correct term) and you use the power levers to control the torque setting (how much fuel is going through the engine). Hope this helps. Terry
