CRUISE
1.
Throttle -- 5200 TO 5400 RPM
2.
Trim -- LEVEL FLIGHT
3.
Fuel Status -- MONITOR
4.
EMS Data -- CHECK
5.
Aux Fuel Pump -- As Required
6.
Upon reaching the desired cruise altitude and airspeed, throttle back to 5200-
5400 RPM, (75% power). Trim the airplane for level flight and note the EMS data
readings.
Minimal fuel monitoring is required for the aux wing tanks if they
are gravity fed. They will automatically feed as the main tank is
depleted. The main tank will continue to indicate FULL for the time
that the aux tanks are draining.
If installed, the aux wing tank pumps may be used to transfer fuel
any time the main fuel gauge is below half. This will ensure that no
fuel is pumped overboard.

engine fuel mixtures will automatically lean during climb
and enrich during decent. The above fuel rates are for sea level
conditions. Use 75% power (5200-5400 RPM) as a cruise
power setting. As an estimate, use 5 Gph as flight planning fuel
flow. Typical cruise altitude fuel flow will be less than 5 Gph.
For detailed engine data refer to the CD included with the
aircraft which contains the Rotax Operator Manual.
