Hi Greg,
Today, In Glastar N78TP, GTW of 1800lbs., I flew 500nm at 110kts TAS, 5500',
5000 rpm and burned 8 gph. Top speed was about 130kts at 5400 (downhill).
Actually this was the first cross country in 30 years, so I took it easy on
everything just to get home. :-)
Regards, Tommy James<><
What kind of fuel burn are you guys experiencing that are flying
your 13Bs?
Appreciate any and all thoughts.
Best Regards,
Greg Fuess
On my trip to Bullhead City AZ, 1000 nm @ 135 knots TAS, gross wt. 1490, average cruise 5200 RPM, various altitudes between 8500' and 12500'. Fuel burn was 7.5 gph. I believe the stock ECU is running the engine on the rich side. I haven't run the calculation for the return trip.
