 Re: Cowl Flaps
follow the check list. I usually don't leave cowl flaps open at altitude...why? it's already cold up there, I'm not at max power usually in cruise, why would I need additional cooling? just baby that engine, nothing dramatic, don't cool it down or heat it up too much.
Hell, in the winter in Alaska, sometimes I'll only open them half way on climb out because it will be too damn cold.
Just keep your temps in the green, and don't cool/heat anything too quickly and you will be fine.
