Effect of airplane weight and engine power on fuel consumption and operation costs of single piston engine propeller training airplanes

In this thesis, single piston engine propeller airplanes having different performances used at the real training flight were examined carefully and how fuel consumption of the airplane weight and engine power effected at the real flight training conditions were analyzed. Conditions being necessary from civil aviation instructions for the flight training were determined. The flight profile was formed for a flight training including these instructions and the flight was separated phases on condition of examining. These data were analyzed by taking fuel and time data according to phases at the real flight training conditions from airplanes used at the flight training at the Anadolu University School of Civil Aviation and fuel consumption formulas were formed dependent on the airplane weight, engine power for the real flight conditions. Effect of airplane weight and engine power on fuel consumption and operation costs of other manufactured airplanes were analyzed using these formulas.
