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.





Is this for a written exam, or is it for real life use? The reason is, in
FAA written exams you have to calculate fuel use down to 1/10 of a gallon.
In real life you use common sense. Normally I allow 5 mins of cruise fuel
for taxi and run-up, and another 5 mins for after-landing. I don't count
the extra fuel for climb. In a C150 your climb power setting is the same as
in cruise, except for leaning the fuel. The difference is very minimal at
low altitudes. If you carry 1 hour of reserve fuel, you won't have to worry
about any of this. If you have to worry about this, then you are cutting
too close. Besides, the numbers in the POH are not going to accurate due to
aircraft age and leaning procedures.
