That's great, Mike !

Once you've read the book, you'll be ready to fly along
on the Ramble !! ;-)

You should have no problem going to 12-14,000 ft with
your Elite. Once upon a time, the Rotax 912 Rebel found its
way up to 16,000 ft...... :-) The only thing you have to
avoid is leaning too much - the CHT & EGT are your friends
for this (An ECI scanner is worth every penny !).

Sorry - can't help with rules over national parks - you
also have to watch out for those roving Temporary Restricted
Airspace thingies (whatever they're called now ...) :-(

Thanks for the replies. I ordered Sparkys book today and will read up. Can a
person fly over Yellowstone Park these days? 2000' AGL?

Mike,

When the mixture is out as lean as it will go (just inside idle cutoff),
and the throtle is all the way in, and it won't climb anymore ... you're
maximum atainable ceiling is that density altitude. Depending on what
rate
of climb you want to sustain in your hip pocket, will define your
operating
density altitude ceiling.

Builders and pilots,
Any body have a feel for what the expected operating ceiling of my
Elite is? I'm sure many of you out there get alot of practice around
those mountains. Around here it's just hills. I hope to travel out west
in the future so I need to learn some limits. Is there some sort of
procedure for climbing beyond say 10,000', like leaning during climb?
Thanks,
Mike Betti
