Too hot in the climb
But, as Jack read further down his airplane's
report card, he spotted something
that got his attention.

The maximum CHT during the climb
phase was uncomfortably warm: median
376 degrees Fahrenheit and maximum of
410 degrees Fahrenheit-way too hot for
a Cirrus. The SR22 has an exceptionally
efficient engine cooling system, and it's
unusual to see CHTs much above about
360 degrees Fahrenheit in these airplanes.
Jack's climb CHTs were unusual,
and not in a good way.
The report card said diplomatically:
" Your maximum CHTs have been higher
than 75 percent of the cohort, higher than
we like to see. We suggest you confirm
that your full power fuel flow is adequate,
ignition timing advance is correct, baffling
is in good shape, and climb airspeed
is high enough. "

that were missing or mispositioned,
a common cause of high CHTs. However,
the section of the report card that showed
maximum CHT spread in cruise made it
clear that Jack's cooling system was in
tiptop shape. The CHT spread measures
the difference between the hottest and
coolest CHT-the smaller the spread, the
better. Jack's CHT spread was exceptionally
tight, better than 69 percent of the
cohort. So the problem must be something
other than cooling baffles.
