Hi I was wondering If anyone can help me with the Time, Fuel, Distance to climb chart for the C172?
So you first calculate the pressure altitude for your cruise altitude and the field elevation. Then say if you get a pressure altitude of 2300 for airport elevation and 4200 for cruise elevation, do you just use the 2000 and 4000 on the chart because thats what its closest to?
If the distance is say 12 to my first point on the map to where I am climbing to, how would I find the time it takes as well as the fuel used for the climb and enroute fuel from the airport to the first map point. I am having some trouble with it, if anyone could explain it for the 172, Time, Fuel, Distance to climb chart that would be much appreciated.
I have another question about the Cruise Performance Chart.
Say the temperature is 5 degrees celcius, would I still use the information under the heading of "standard temperature"?
Because I noticed three headings, "20 degrees below standard temp", "standard temp", and "20 degrees above standard".
Thanks
