Fuel FlowFuel flow is part of the performance planning of a FMS. A known quantity of fuel is entered into the flight management computer as a reference base. Fuel flow sensors mounted at the engines provide a signal to indicate the amount of fuel being used from engine start up to engine shut down. Fuel flow is normally presented in pounds per hour (PPH). Usually the existing engine fuel flow sensors are used. Fuel flow data can be "picked off" the fuel flow guage in most cases. A common input type is a direct current (DC) linear input type.
