Hughes,

Expect about 760 - 775kg for a Newscopter, depending on the operator's kit. Fuel burn is significantly reduced as much of the work is done loafing around at 18-20" MAP (at least for our filming/traffic work). Obviously a judgement thing, if you're transitting to/from a location the fuel burn would be 'normal', against the reduced burn 'on task'.
