Thanks Lance and Gary.
Gary, I know you don't fly the DA42 any longer but do you recall your fuel flow figures at various power settings?
You must have used a basis for flight planning.

Re: fuel flow discrepancy
Noted Dave, but the end result of all this is that I have -say- 5 gallons less in my tanks than what the totaliser says after a 5 hours flight. More or less regardless of altitude flown btw. This cannot be right. I was under the impression that the combination of the FF meter and the totaliser had t...

Continental CD Diesel engines 'on-condition'
With the new ELA1 and ELA2 maintenance regime being introduced in EASA-land one could elect to continue to run the CD135/155 engines beyond their recommended TBR (1500hrs/12 yrs for the 'older' versions). AFAIK this is being done already in the US under part 91. I am wondering what kind of parameter...
