(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 35.) Determine the approximate manifold pressure setting with 2,450 RPM to achieve 65 percent maximum continuous power at 6,500 feet with a temperature of 36°F higher than standard.

A
19.8 inches Hg.
B
20.8 inches Hg.
C
21.0 inches Hg.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
A temperature 36 degrees F above standard means using the ISA +20 C (+36 F) section of Figure 35. At 2,450 RPM, manifold pressure is 21.0 in. Hg at 6,000 feet and 20.8 in. Hg at 8,000 feet. Interpolating for 6,500 feet: 21.0 - (500/2,000 x 0.2) = 20.95, about 21.0 in. Hg. 20.8 is the 8,000-foot value, and 19.8 comes from the ISA -20 C table.
