jax88 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Anyone with a F model care to share their observed fuel burn during the climb with me?
KSMooniac Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 If properly setup, you should be seeing right around 18 GPH for a standard day, sea-level full-rich takeoff. It will decrease as you climb, or for hotter days. You can also lean in the climb using the Target EGT method to make a more efficient climb.
Parker_Woodruff Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 My 200hp J did something like 18.2 gph at 500' MSL and climbing, IIRC (WOT and mixture full rich). It shouldn't be much (if any) lower than that. Otherwise you're max fuel flow is too little for that kind of power setting.

Lood Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I don't fly from the coast very often, but mostly from airfields at an average of 4000 ft. At this alt, my fuel flow during climbs is usually around 16 gal/hr.
FAST FLIGHT OPTIONS LLC Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Quote: KLRDMD I lean mine to 17.5 GPH in the climb, 27", 2500 RPM. That seems to be about 150-175º ROP. Then in cruise pull back to 25", 2500 RPM at 10.0 GPH LOP.
