i everybody. Just finished a business trip.

17 hours of turbo-normalized operations in the last three days - all
lean of peak TIT.

Altitudes from 3000 MSL to 18,000 and everywhere in between.

ADH to ORL to PNE to ADH (55Kt headwind) ... headwinds on two of
three
legs.

Average power? 92.5% of rated 200 HP continuous in cruise.

Average torque? ~ 102% of rated torque; hottest CHT = ~ 378;

TIT =~ 1505 to 1525F; and normal BSFC = ~ 0.385 lbs/hp/hr.

How do you know what the BSFC was? How many gallons of gas did you
use?

All of them, Paul! JPI 800 in use, ;=)

Well of course you used all of them. How many gallons did you put in the tanks?

What is a JPI 800?
