13,500+ feet ASL...!!

In a piston prop!

WOWZERS..!

An excellent opportunity to practice your engine management skills.... Smiley

...!

Careful adjustments to the Throttle, Propeller, and Mixture controls to obtain the optimum/maximum power/speed from the engine(s)... Wink

...!

Don't forget that over 5,000 feet ASL you need to gradually weaken the mixture to get the correct fuel/air ratio for maximum power...:...!

Keep a wary eye on the Engine RPM gauge, Fuel flow gauge, Suction gauge, Exhaust gas and Cylinder head temperature gauges...
...and not forgetting the Air Speed Gauge... Shocked

...!

...and still look where you are going... Roll Eyes

...

...!

Busy times... Wink

...!

The Beech Baron should cope with the high altitude just fine with a bit of control tweaking... Wink

...!

I will try the Cessna 182RG (Retractable Gear) for a change, similar controls (and speed) to the Baron, but only one engine to worry about... Wink

...!

Paul...G-BPLF... Cool

...!

..and an obvious tip?

If you intend using the Autopilot after take-off, check your airfield's altitude before taking off!, and set the climb altitude to be GREATER than the airfield's altitude!, (and a positive rate of climb in FPM), beforehand!
...otherwise your propeller may be buried in the ground, and the Insurance Man will be knocking on your door...trust me... Cry

...!
LOL... Grin

...!
