912iS fuel consumption versus RPM
in 912iS Technical Questions

Hi Guys,
Don't know if this topic has been covered already, but need help.
I am operating the 912 iS at sea level. Please advise as to the recommended prop RPM that we should be seeing on the cruise with a fixed pitch propeller (running a warp drive 3 bladed prop at the moment). Also what is the recommended static RPM.
The operator of the aircraft has coarsened the pitch to prevent over revving the engine as it is used for training, operating at an elevation of 225 ft I see about 4900 rpm in the static condition at 24 litres/hr fuel burn.
About 4900- 5000 RPM with 13.6-14.1 litres/hr fuel burn in the cruise.
Would help if anybody could suggest the recommended RPM that we should have on the engine and recommended fuel burn.
