FUEL BURN AS365N/N1/N2/N3
AEO LOITER (75-80 KIAS): 240KG/HR 240KG/HR 280KG/HR 300KG/HR
AEO CRUISE: 265KG/HR 290KG/HR 285KG/HR 305KG/HR
OEI CRUISE: 180KG/HR 160KG/HR 173KG/HR 200KG/HR
START/TAXI/TURN-ROUND 20 20 20 25

I think that 160KG/HR figure for the N1 in OEI cruise is a bit on the low side, but these are planning figures. They're a bit higher than you'll likely see on a standard day near sea level. And like the other folks have said, with altitude, they'll tend to improve as TAS goes up about 2 knots/1000' and engine efficiency tends to improve as well. But consider where and how you operate. If you never go up to 10,000', that figure is of little use and of course, once you get up higher you start dealing with differing wind effects, so, take all figures with a grain of salt. In a 365 with a full bag of fuel, you might get just a bit over 2 hours out of the machine and you might get over 3, depending...
