Brief Description: Fuel Flow Test

Fuel flow test. Raise aircraft to 15 degree nose up attitude. Minimum fuel flow shall be 80 HP X .55 X 1.5/60 = 1.1 lbs/min. I ran 4 - 1 gallon fuel flow samples, which took 99 seconds, 100 seconds, 102 seconds, 105 seconds, for an average of 101.5 seconds. 128 oz / 101.5 seconds X 60/16 = 4.7 lbs/min, this easily surpasses the calculated minimum fuel flow of 1.1 lbs/min.
