Otis,

While the chart is nice you may want to also determine the actual numbers
for
the aircraft you're flying. Actual consumption can be off considerably
from the book.


If your actual consumption is "off considerably from the book"
something is seriously wrong. You should always be able to match or
beat book fuel burns. If not, then one needs to examine the fuel
system to see if there carb is working properly, there are no leaks or
other problems; look at the manner in which the pilot is operating the
power controls, throttle settings, mixture use, etc., and then to see
if the tach is accurate.

All the best,
Rick

I'm looking for a chart or table or something that describes the fuel
usage
in climbout and descent. I want to know how much fuel to allow for taxi,
runup, and climbout.
