05 MINIMUM SPECIFIC FUEL CONSUMPTION
To maintain the best range speed it is necessary that the engines develop the most
efficient power. This power is normally much less than Maximum Cruise Power and use of
low power settings is desirable for preservation of engine life and and for engine efficiency.
For maximum efficiency maximum BMEP (torque) is selected with the minimum RPM
necessary to obtain it. The settings for Manifold Pressure and APM to obtain maximum
efficiency are obtained from in the BMEP Cruising Chart.
For maximum range the Cruising Control Chart is to be consulted for the Minimum Specific
Consumption settings. See Range Flying and Endurance Flying this Section.
06 FUEL CONSUMPTION
Total Capacity 6600L
Use 375Ltr per hour for flight planning
Dip tanks before flight. Fuel gauges give approximate readings only and are unreadable
below 400L.
