Each 1000' of altitude will induce minor varations.....5000' is a good number to me as the varations are cumulative.
When taking off from a high altitude airport, it was common to run the mixture control for max power...... Now that that's said.....altitude is not the only factor...temperature, humidity, etc are also factors |
