a broad indication of duration based on consumption per hour.




Cost savings tips:

We pay for our flying time based on the engine taco meter.  The faster the engine speed the greater the taco time which results in your higher bill.  Setting to normal cruise of 22/22 should  give circa 30 ltr/hr.
Use the exhaust manifold temp guage to set most efficient lean setting.
