Pretty much. The 210 will use exactly 60L per tacho hour, so using tacho hours on your fuel plan gives you FOB after full tanks down to the liter any time you look at the tacho. It's yet another trick that a lot of people didn't pick up on, nor was there anything of that nature in company ops manual's CAR220 compliance about using it. Not knowing FOB at any time is a system problem, and broom sticks are just a part of it !
