Notes

The accuracy of the spreadsheet calculations


were validated by spot checks against the power
chart from a Cessna 177RG POH (IO-360-A1B6D) found
at http://www.aerowings.org/aircraftpoh.htm. The
spreadsheet typically calculated one-half to one
percent higher power for the same rpm and MP than
was given in the POH. But, the spreadsheet is
valid at maximum power mixture, and the POH data
is for recommended lean mixture, so this is
probably about correct.
