C150 Performance

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.

I'm sorry, I forgot to include that my POH does not include what to allocate
for what I'm asking. The 152 POH does, but I don't have one on hand.

Your POH? Is that a reporting that you bought for your airplane or really
just the PIM that the FBO sold you? Check the POH in the airplane. The other
option is does that POH say how much time and how much fuel will be used to
climb to a specified altitude? If so you can do a little math to figure out
the fuel/hour during climbs.

My '69 model burned about 9 gph climbing at full rich, full throttle. Operation at
about 1,000 rpm (descent & taxi) seemed to be about 4 gph. Cruise at 6,500 burned
about 5.6 gph. In general, I just planned for 6 gph for trips. Seemed to work out
right. Most of my trips were taken at or below 6,500'.

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

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.

The original POH for my '69 150 did not have this information, so it does not
surprise me that Slick's doesn't have it either.

mate you are flying a beautifully simple aircraft. flight plan at 20
litres per hour, or 20.5 litres per hour for a little margin.
below 5,000ft, rich, lean, up, down, slow, fast doesnt make enough
difference to ever show up in the fuel figures.
I've flown 3 hours full rich then 3 hours back leaned to peak and
didnt notice a difference.
wonderful aeroplane the 150. one of the sweetest little commercial
aeroplanes ever built.
Stealth Pilot

btw in the 150m POH you'll find detailed (too damn detailed) figures
on cruise performance in section 5-14.

The manual for your engine will include a graph of brake specific fuel
consumption rate as a function of horsepower. Together with the
horsepower dropoff with altitutde factor (sigma - C)/(1-C), using C
about 0.12, sigma is relative air density, you should be able to get a
fairly good approximation to what you want.

Ok not to change subjects but wasn't it 1978 that you are required to have a
POH for the airplane?
