Gdn Newal 5 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I guess I could also ask on Just Flight forum but..... habit. After the flights the fuel burn is there. I can monitor and tweak mine. But how do I convert to USG/hr? Specific gravity calculations ? Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 You can figure it by calculating Jet fuel at 6.5 pounds per gallon, and regular GA gas at 6.0 pound per gallons...is IIRC how Air Hauler figures it. I use that method, then "estimate" it a bit higher fuel consumption on the assumption (well established) that I tend to go as fast as I can while keeping needles within mostly green and the occasional yellow range marks. cheers.
