fuel flow testing
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:35 pm
hello all
need some info if possible.What would be the maximum angle used for
doing fuel flow tests?The info I have tells me I need 150% of the max
fuel required by the engine.13.5gph =19.75gph required on the flow
test.I can achieve over 20 gph when in flight attitude but I get 17
gph when I raise the nose.I used 4gal in each tank, tested
seperatly.Not sure if I'm using to much of an angle,not enough fuel?
Anything below 3gal in a tank and the flow drops below the 150%
requirement.Help!Didn't know the paperwork would be the hardest
part.Any insights here would be appreciated.
Thanks
