    Follow the SOP's, mixture fully rich on T/O is the SOP! Leaning on the roll is crazy! And I'm highly doubtful there's any performance benefit as elevations of runways are all low in Ireland (</=500ft AMSL). There's only ever a performance benefit as you increase altitude, only reason for leaning on ground is to prevent spark plug fouling, but never ever on the T/O roll.

      Hi Oceanfroggie, the plane is a Cessna 182s it was born in 1999. Good spot on the panel, it was upgraded a few years back with 3 new instruments. It now has a new engine and prop.

      Hi Danharodian, Good spot! the reason for the mix coming out on takeoff is, it gets around an extra 50 rpm or more, That extra power can really make a difference to the take off roll. That's what the instructor was demonstrating. Sometimes the edit can obscure what's actually happening. apologies for that
