Afaik, fully back should be auto rich and it's lean in CloD. So if you're saying that you moved the mixture lever fully forward, you used rich mixture.

I think this is also the thing, that causes the most engine problems, because you're supposed to run the engine auto rich at high boost, but thanks to the mix-up in CloD and the mixture automatically going to fully lean, if you pull the throttle back and then forget to set the mixture back to rich, you easily ruin your engine.

Anyway, many thanks for this video. Definately helps as a workaround for the current FM. Even though it's still a bit tricky at higher altitudes. I just never know, which RPM is still "save", because even if you keep temperatures low enough, the engine might still "blow up".
