The relationship between engine power and range is presented in the
range profile chart. Accordingly, the most economical fuel consumption
or the longest range will be achieved at a cruise power of approx. 65% at
6000ft.
Next the cruise performance table data can be read, by using the 65%
cruise powerdeterminedaboveandtheothergivenvalues the following
resultisobtained:
True Airspeed 117 kts
FuelConsumption 28 l / h
The fuel required for this flight may be estimated by use of the chart
"Time, Fuel, and Distance to climb” (Fig. 5-8) and the Cruise Performance
chart(Fig.5-9).
These values are based on standard ICAO temperatures. However, they
are sufficiently precise for most flight planning purposes. Temperature
correction is explainedonthe“...Performance” ... Note.
