What is your Arrow's useful load? More importantly, what are your fuel hops going to be with seats full? Why yes, I mean ...with IFR reserves!! Useful load is 983.8 lbs. With four seats full, we'll carry 36 gallons (to the tabs) which means three hour legs in order to land with an hour's worth reserves (my mandated fuel reserves, more than those required by the FARs). For any IFR ops., it depends on the timeframe to the destination + alternate + reserves...most likely around 2:30 for time to destination + alternate and I'd still have (my) reserves remaining. Until we get past Salt Lake, there's little chance we'd do IFR flying though as much of the MEAs would require supplemental O2. Dang rocks are just so high that by the time you add obstruction clearance and nav. aid reception, you'd really want to be sucking on bottled O2. BTW, we're waiting for OSH to get new pillows. Yup, you get them first (x4) , then they're all ours. Margene has decided ....it's time. Oooooh, no lumpy ones, eh? Cooooooool! Still need to weigh a bunch of stuff though. Will keep you posted on that front. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-Instrument Airplane Arrow N2104T "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return" - Leonardo Da Vinci (Remove the obvious from address to reply via e-mail) |
