I guess it would.
FWIW, In my 180HP fixed pitch MX7180a I flight plan 10gph (conservative,
I can do anything with that assumption). I get 9 GPH with 1 hour or
greater leg and 1 TO and 1 Landing. I can get 8.1 by aggressive
leaning, flying over 7000feet on a 4 hour+ leg. All assume 2500rpm.
I guess with the CAP setup, a chief pilot will have to put together a
performance sheet for use by the group. Of course the liability for the
figures would lie with .....
