Working hard, you are welcome, in fact we are going to Portugal in the next couple of weeks to look at a chippy project and will be stopping at Biaritz on the way. So if you want a lift PM me.

Sorry I should have said an 18,000ft service ceiling. But otherwise accurate. My Hawk XP has a max weight of 2550lbs and an empty weight of 1560 giving a useful load of 990lbs. Taken from my current W&B schedule done after the avionics work in January.
2 males = 360lbs
2 females = 240lbs
600lbs
Fuel Max useable 188l = 293lbs
Total = 893lbs
Leaving 97lbs for bags or fatter people
200hp constant speed prop.
2000ft indicates 130kts at 23"/2300
10,000ft IAS 110kts ISA day TAS= 128kt or Mach 0.2002
Burns 32lph in the cruise at 10,000ft giving me a 5.8hr range I allow the .8hr for climb and reserve.
