Hmm, I'm guessing you have all the seats full and are probably pretty heavy. That's "about" what a 206B on low-skids (with fairings) and no wedge windows would do. You're nearly full of fuel, and the fuel flow is 220 pph (32 gph), about in line with what a 500 horsepower engine should be burning..
It's nice to see some actual photographs of the numbers instead of relying on the anecdotal figures some people report.
130kt straight and level @ 89% torque
