Ball-park estimate, rule-of-thumb, etc., fast cruise for the above at ISA 4000', max gross, especially with EMS kit- wire cutters, lights, etc.

B407: Can't tell you the figures for the ISA 4000 ft, since I am always ISA+15 to +20, but 125kts indicated (Vne =131kts) is usually no problem, with an indicated FF of 340lbs/hour.

Have wire cutters installed, no lights.
