Is it possible to make a trip from Key West to Cancun, Mexico in a Piper Warrior?. Has anyone done it in a Warrior? Any tips or advice? Anything in The trip looks like 350 NM. With a full 50 gallons at the POH rate of 9gph that's 5 hours of flight time with a 5 gallon reserve that translate's to over 30 minutes. Seems like there is no fuel issue, unless you have a hellacious headwind. Actual fuel usage will likely be lower. I rarely use more than 8 gph in my 1978 Warrior, and most of the time at cruise it is around 7.5 gph. However, I ALWAYS plan for the POH number of 9 gph. Demonick
