5-17 FUEL CONSERVATION
The Cruise Performance charts in this section of the manual provide quick
reference information regarding power settings to obtain maximum range.
These power settings should be used when it is desirable to conserve fuel
during a ight. Additionally, the Maximum Range Prole in this section
provides another resource for preight planning, to assist in selecting the
proper cruise altitude for the best fuel efciency.
FUEL RANGE RING
A fuel range ring is provided through the MFD on the Garmin G1000. This
can be a valuable resource as a cross reference to determine if there is
sufcient fuel on board to make the ight with the proper reserves. Be aware
that this feature has limits, since the fuel range ring is calculated using the
LB REM (pounds remaining) from the fuel totalizer which requires pilot input.
The current wind conditions are also factored into this calculation and does
not factor in winds that will be encountered later on in the ight. For more
information regarding the fuel range ring, refer to the Garmin G1000 Pilot’s
Guide (190-00590-XX) for the Quest KODIAK 100.
5-18 CRUISE PERFORMANCE
(Refer to the tables on the following pages)
The following information is applicable to all Cruise Performance Charts
contained in this section.
NOTES:
• The highest torque value for each temperature and RPM value
represents the maximum allowable cruise power. Do not exceed this
torque value: 740°C ITT, or 101.6%
, whichever occurs rst.
• With the inertial air particle separator placed in BYPASS and the
power set below the cruise torque limit of 1840 foot-pounds, decrease
the maximum cruise torque by 50 foot-pounds when below 10,000
feet, and 60 foot-pounds when above 10,000 feet. Do not exceed
740°C ITT or 101.6%
.
• When the Air Conditioning is ON, and power is set below the cruise
torque limit of 1840 foot-pounds, decrease the maximum cruise torque
by 80 foot-pounds. Do not exceed 740°C ITT or 101.6%
.
• Propeller RPM (Np) may be set as low as 1900 RPM to reduce cabin
noise. Do not exceed 1840 foot-pounds of torque, 740 degrees C ITT,
or 101.6% NG. To achieve optimum cruise performance, set Np at or
above 2000 RPM.
CAUTION: With the inertial air particle separator placed in BYPASS,
maximum cruise speed is reduced by up to 10 knots.
