Abstract
A computer implemented lean assist function monitors exhaust gas temperature in a plurality of cylinders in an engine along with fuel flow. The lean assist function automatically detects whether the pilot is leaning for best power or best economy and provides an indication to the pilot when the desired fuel mixture has been achieved based on the monitored temperatures.
