A typical gravity feed fuel system, in a helicopter with a reciprocating engine, contains the components shown here. Some fuel systems contain a small hand-operated pump called a primer. A primer allows fuel…
- Chapter 16: Navigation › Distance D = GS X T › Fuel Consumption
Your fuel gauge indicates low fuel level The rate of fuel consumption depends on many factors: condition of the engine, propeller/rotor pitch, propeller/ rotor revolutions per minute (rpm), richness of the mixture, and the percentage of horsepower used for flight ... cruising speed. The pilot should know the approximate consumption rate from cruise performance charts or from experience.
