REL Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Hey Do you guys know about a formula/device that can give you the estimated remaining flight time base on the current fuel quantity and air speed? Thanks Edited September 4, 2009 by REL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Your ABRIS can basically do that. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrin Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I normally work on the principle that it burns around 700-750kg/hr According to the manual it burns 137 gallons/hr (per engine) at take off power. Which would equate to roughly 807kg/hr total if you run at take off power. Based on 1USG weighing 6.5lbs. Edit: Airspeed tends not to play that much of a part as it will all depend on what sort of an environment you're in and whether you are running it at proper cruise power etc etc. Personally I find it much better just to work on the principle of x/hr. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
