flipside5 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Guys, Just purchased Flight Calculator and I am confused about the calculating fuel needed for a certain flight. I can calculate fine but I am not sure what units are displayed, is it in Gallons all the time? I know it syas it in the manual but it's a bit confusing cause in the example it talks about pounds. I ended up thinking it was in pounds so when I loaded up my SF206 and the flight was roughly 25 mins I ended up having to crash land cause I ran out of fuel. I then tried it again but instead in Gallons I had enough fuel plus even more. So is the results displayed in Flight Calculator in Gallons? What if I want to use pounds? Thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipside5 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi, I was trying to calculate how much fuel I will need for a certain journey. I want to work in Gallons cause that's what the gauges are in my SF206 and Cessna 206. It was 43 nm and would have taken around 25 mins I think. Fuel flow at roughly 20 GPH Thanks. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hello S.M.G, There is a calculation regarding fuel flow on page 13 of the manual. Calculate Fuel Flow MODE | TSD | FLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
