Fuel consumption during cruise flight is dependent on various factors. The
most important ones are engine settings and propeller settings. The higher
the engine RPM is set during cruise, the higher the fuel consumption.
When propeller is set to minimum angle to achieve good climbing
performance, level flight will be slower together with higher fuel
consumption. When planning a flight, always consider all these and other
factors like wind direction and speed or expected weather en route. Always
plan for sufficient fuel reserve when arriving to the destination. Always
carefully evaluate fuel consumption during the flight.
