GNM/LT, it is derived from GPS data over the ARINC429 link. I normally see numbers around 3.8-4.0, but horsing around at low level, the fuel burn is higher.

When you have a TAS at FL130 say and 160Knots, 36.5LPH, it looks REALLY nice

Hehehehe that skid ball lies.....he is a King Air driver, the ball is always in the middle Actually it is pretty much in the middle! For a change!

Clinton is on the money..... this is a garden variety Lycoming, complete with grey paint! It does have a good EMS and some education to go with it.

The thing is most of what I can do with that engine I can apply quite safely to a C172 and a fixed pitch prop with not much more than a Tacho. A Chieftan, well a Fuel flow meter also. When you have knowledge and understanding, you actually need a lot less instruments. However less instruments and no understanding, is where most people are at. The difference is with a good EMS, be it a JPI/Auracle or whatever, you have an excellent diagnostic tool. Problem is once you get it, what you do with all that data is where the value is.

It is my goal to change that over time, bit by bit


So anyone else wanna take a shot at the bloke in the first pic

Or post some more pics?
