planning figures are 2400 lb / hr until you are above 40,000 lb when you can expect to burn 2600 lb / hr.

Flying with an external load (USL) will usually increase your fuel flow and requires an additional fuel flow increment based on drag.

This equates to 40 - 45 lb / min if you are FJ minded.

. .The metric version the RAF use (they have better engines and slightly better fuel flow / power available) is 20 kg / min, equating to a planning figuere of 10 kg / nautical mile czoz they go everywhere at 120 Knots or better!

Why do you need this?

[eviltwin]

I think you could embelish the story abit more than just telling him about fuel flows, metric or otherwise.. .What about all your medals for dweing dwo, the months in FI, Bosnia, Kosovo, NI, Fatherland, Hampshire.. .Unless its your Staneval check? Then I think you're busted.
