REFLECTOR: Fuel Consumption Performance

[Al Gietzen]

Al,

Hey thanks for that.  Can I do anything to help fill in the matrix any
better?  I could get you some 165 TAS numbers on my next long trip.  It
seems like runs at similar altitudes and TAS would make for the easiest
comparisons.  But,  I could fly at whatever altitude or fuel flow, etc you
wanted to know about.  

Terry;

 

I think I've gone as far as going with that - I was just
tabulating/correlating the reported data for easier viewing.  I'd be more
interested in comparison data for alternative engines, although that then
needs to be compared with the certified engines.

 

I think each person should gather some data on their own plane, for their
own purposes; starting with verifying the accuracy of the airspeed and fuel
flow readings.  Then it might be fun to compare some data for the same
models at the same TAS at the same elevation.

 

So if all you folks flying would, whenever convenient, like to post some
data for your M&M and engine type at, say:

Leaned cruise

150 KTAS

9500 ft;

it would be interesting.

 

Best,

Al
