Setting up an aircraft

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but for my aircraft performance profile, should the entries be for sea level or my preferred altitude?

Re: Setting up an aircraft

whatever is set at your POH and wherever you're flying.

So if my POH says I should get 150 kias at 8500 feet at 9.5 gph, if I plug that in, RealPlan will interpolate for the different altitudes it suggests to accurately project trip time and fuel usage?

Re: Setting up an aircraft

Tim,

I found my POH to be notoriously inaccurate with regard to fuel flows...I could/would never trust those in my case.

I inserted the average of historical data on my plane, which is much more realistic.

Would love to hear from other pilots on this - is your POH fuel flow anything near reality?
