FW-190 series fuel consumption, endurance, and range charts

Hi folks,

have you ever been low on fuel, desperate to make it to a friendly base, but had no idea what power setting would get you there?

I've plotted following charts for the FW-190 series at sea level. This is a worst case scenario in terms of fuel consumption, endurance, and range. You should be able to squeeze out a little more endurance and range at higher altitudes.

All planes were as clean as possible (no bomb racks, radiator/cowl flaps closed).

The endurance and range charts are calculated for 50 liters of fuel. You can easily extrapolate the values for your actual fuel level from those charts.

 

One example: you're in a D9, have 25 liters of fuel, and the nearest base is 40 km away. A power setting of 1.2 ATA, will bring you there in 5 minutes.

 

I've gathered the data over the last few months, and use the charts extensively while flying online. Hope you find them useful.
