Hey guys... I need help getting some info I need for a grad school project. It's been almost 5 years since I left the airline and don't have any of my CRJ stuff anymore..... I need to know what the cruise fuel flow is at a typical cruise altitude at different speeds if anyone can help me out. I was thinking something along the lines of altitude in the low to mid 30's at a high cruise speed and a lower cruise speed - maybe .78 and .72 or .74 - something in that range. If the chart or release that you're using also shows KTAS that would be helpful as well.

Thanks!

Last night at FL300 I was burning 1350 a side doing .78 with a TAS of around 430knts. CRJ200. Old(er) engines and slightly beat up airframe. YMMV.

EDIT: We were really light. I think 42,000lbs or so.
 
At LRC (.63 at 44,000) at FL310 and ISA, you'll burn 938 lbs a side. That's about all they give us in our book on fuel burn. I'd say normal burn for us is around 1300-1500 a side depending on how fast we wanna go.
