My instructor never explained this to me ;
On the C210 you have a placard which provides you with the fuel flow on take off.
SL - 4000ft : 144lbs/hr - 2850 rpm
My question is do you use field elevation to calculate the fuel flow or should you use density altitude.The POH says field elevation, but on a hot day your DA can be 7000ft so your fuel flow should be alot less.
Please explain this to me
Thank you
