4-1. FUEL FLOW CHARTS
The fuel flow charts (Figure 4-2) present fuel
consumption during level flight as a function
of altitude, OAT, airspeed, and gross weight.
These charts are based on estimates and
limited flight test data. They are applicable to
the basic helicopter with all doors installed
and without any optional equipment, which
would appreciably affect lift, drag, or power
available.
These data do not include the effects of bleed
air heater, ECS, particle separator purge, or
anti-ice operation on fuel consumption. Also,
fuel consumption may vary between engines
under the same operating conditions. It is
recommended, therefore, that the operator
conduct fuel consumption checks to adjust
the presented data as necessary.
The dashed line labeled LRC indicates the
optimum long range cruise airspeed for best
fuel economy. LRC is not depicted where it
would occur above the continuous
transmission limit line.
The following example can be used as a guide
to calculate fuel burn information (Figure 4-1).
EXAMPLE:
Problem: What is the fuel burn for 4450
pounds, at 4000 feet pressure altitude, and
+7°C, at 105 knots indicated airspeed.
MANUFACTURER’S DATA BHT-206L4-MD-1
Solution: Find the appropriate chart
(Figure 4-1) and begin by locating the
indicated airspeed of 105 knots at the bottom
of the chart. Locate the helicopter weight of
4450 pounds (lower left of chart center), then
follow the curved line to the right and upwards
until you intersect the appropriate indicated
airspeed line of 105 knots. Pr oceed
horizontally to the left until you intersect the
FUEL FLOW LB/HR (fuel flow pound per hour)
of approximately 241 pounds per hour.
Long Range Cruise (LRC) — The dashed line
labeled LRC indicates the optimum long range
cruise airspeed for best fuel economy. LRC is
not depicted where it would occur above the
continuous transmission limit line.
The long range cruise airspeed for 3500
pounds is found the same way as above,
however, enter the appropriate chart at the
helicopter gross weight of 3500 pounds and
then proceed along the curved line to the right
and upwards, until you intersect the LRC line.
Proceed down vertically to the bottom of the
chart and read the helicopter indicated (114
knots) or true airspeed (118 knots) for these
conditions.
Maximum Endurance (Max End) — The bottom
of the gross weight curves will produce the
least fuel burn per hour. For weights between
2500 and 4500 pounds, an airspeed of
a p p r o x im a t e l y 6 0 K I A S w o u ld y i e l d t h e
minimum fuel burn and give the helicopter the
most time aloft.
