Hi guys/gals,
I have an upcoming endorsement on the navajo coming up and am just trying to get a bit of a heads up on the machine before I go for my endorsement. As I am currently at an isolated property I can't get my hands on the available material until the day of the endorsement. Just trying to get an idea of the fuel burn for climb and cruise setting for flight planning purposes and if people have used a general block planning amount that works pretty well. I know there are always variables, but a few thoughts would be greatly appreciaited. Thanks in advance :ok:

for a PA31-350 - 20 litres start-up and taxi plus 130 litres per flying hour works well, with an additional 3 litres per minute for extended climbs- or, 140 litres per hour start-up to shut down as a rule-of-thumb
