Relatively new pilot here, trying to optimize flight time/cost for
distance flights. I belong to a flying club that charges different rates for Tach/ Hobbs. I use the airplane mostly for longer trips (not flight training anymore), meaning the advantage of the Tach/Hobbs difference is mostly lost, unless I plan cruise flight very carefully. So, to plan the flights, I'm trying to optimize flight time with cost issues. But, to do that, I need to know what speed the Tach Meter is operating at. Anyone have a potential resource for listing reference times for Tach Meters? Should I look on the meter itself? In a POH? Based on my initial research, I'm using a Tach reference of 2400 RPM. But, if the plane Tach is a 2500, or 2300, or some other number, my planning for cruise flight BHP, flight times, and costs gets all thrown off. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jake |
