How often does the pitot static system and the altimeter need to be calibrated on a VFR airplane to fly in Class B airspace?
The pitot static system and the altimeter need to be calibrated every 24 months to fly in class B airspace.

The propeller blades are twisted to help the meet the air at almost the same angle of attack along their length which improves efficiency.
In order to achieve maximum endurance in a piston airplane fly at the lowest safe altitude with the propeller turning as slowly as possible to maintain level flight. The easiest way [...]
We lean the mixture as we climb because of the decrease in air density. We are trying to keep the ratio of fuel to air by mass constant, not by volume. [...]
Intake, compression, power, exhaust.
Valve overlap is when the intake and exhaust valves are both open at the same time.
Detonation is when the fuel/air mixture burns all at once in the cylinder as opposed to slowly starting from the spark plug. It can occur when the engine is running too [...]
