In Flight training I memorized a formula based on horsepower at both rich and lean
the correction factor for air density
Now 50 years later I need it again and all my searching won't turn it up. Any suggestion where to look or on the off chance does anybody know the formula?
In reply to Robbie : seems overly simple. I remember the formula as something point pounds per hour times a correction factor based on how rich or lean the engine was running times horsepower taken from the Pratt and Whitney rpm/ horsepower.
I passed the test and the subsequent test flights. Not once in 9 years of flying did I ever run out of fuel and have to ditch st sea
That formula will tell me how to jets the carbs if I remember correctly. Save a whole lot of time on the Dyno
