I fly a Seneca V but I don’t expect much difference between the
III and the V except the empty weight. I can legally carry about 1,000
lbs. Of people, fuel or some combination. With a burn rate of about 24
gph you figure how the desired balance within the limitations.

Can anybody tell me what a realistic cruising range is for a Seneca
III with long range tanks a a full load (i.e. six people including
pilot)?


Is the useful load on a Seneca V really ~1000lbs? That's nearly
700lbs less than a II. I know the interiors/air condition/avionics
can take up weight but that's obscene.
