MD-80 Fuel flow question

Featured Replies

i would post in the maddog forum but it seems like activity there is very slow so ill have better luck getting a response here. my question is in regards to the fuel flow guage. how do you read it, usuall it will show 3 digits per engine, and im assuming its lbs or kgs per hour correct. so if its 371 and my units are kgs, its 371 kgs/per hour? thanks

It shows a tenth of the unit you have selected. For example, if you have selected LBS as your weight unit then a fuel flow rate of 176 would mean that the engine uses 1760 lbs of fuel per hour at the current setting / conditions. Remember that you got one fuel flow readout per engine, so the real fuel usage number would be somewhere around 1760lbs x2 per hour
