Raimo, did you measure the discrepancy at various power setting?
It matches just perfect with all the power settings. I calibrated it after
5 flights to get readings I was happy (I wanted to have 5% fuel more than
it shows). Then I verified it after five more flights.
I really trust it. When it shows "you have 9 liters of fuel omboard" it is
time to select a reserve side (and hope your target is nearby). Especially
when flying overseas and you cannot see the coastline at FL 80 it is really
your friend in the panel...
Mostly I select a window "liters /hour just now". I really wanna get an
instant warning if my engine starts to drink more or less without any power
adjustments.
I regularly say every 15 minutes check my endurance and estimated reserve
in the target and compare it to the fuel gauge readings AND to the
information in my head.
As a curiositet - I had one expert who was helping me to measure fuel
quantities. Kim Prout from California was here and helped me. He is a real
Europa man and a wonderful person. He is also a master to sing Finnish
songs in the karaoke bar...I quarantee!
