Fuel Flow Charts for LittleMavMap?

Hi there. Im looking for Fuelflow charts to set up aircraft performance in LNM (LittleNavMap).
Im searching for the C208 EX fuel flows for Climb, Cruise and Descent / Approach.

Where can i find it? (It is a PT6-140 Powerplant)

And the Fuelflow should be specified in lbs or gal per hour

I just submitted an aircraft performance file for C208B. The author has posted it.

oh thanks. I dosnt looked there. Thank you!

And from where do you take the reference for your performance file? From an official Performance sheet or what?

A couple of places:

Independent operators who post the rates (for presumably potential customers), scientific organizations who post cost breakdowns for aircraft/fleet operations, general media (i.e., Flying Magazine), plus three test flights I conducted for a 75, 150, 250 NM at 5, 10 and 15K enroutes respectively. These were 70 percent loaded (pax+cargo) and full fuel payload. I was at 80-85 percent throttle, mostly AP enabled. The link quoted is correct - initial flight set a number for cruise, which I also used for the one-hour reserve and alternates.

Best numbers quoted, but I haven’t been able to confirm this in-flight - half power at 40gph but the caveat is a half-fuel load. Most RL values quote max cruise range at anywhere from 50-58 gph.

The sim may not reflect actual numbers in-flight. Given the number of Mods out there regarding Turboprop performance and the Caravan specifically, there’s more work to be done.

Thanks a lot, very interesting :ok_hand:

LittleNavMap will collect this data for you. The best thing to do is to fly a test flight profile, climb, cruise, descent, on a clear skies day flying from sea level, then you can copy the collected data from the test flight into the LNM performance file.

This will give you real in-sim data, so when you plan using the performance file the results will be very accurate.
