How many seats are they in a normal configuration?
We operate our N24s with 15 passenger seats, (14 in the cabin and one up the front) I believe it was certified to put 17 passengers on board.
How would the weight and balance go with full seats?. what sort of range would you expect with full seats?
Ours operate with 360kg of fuel on board, which is two hours worth, and can carry 15 pax with an average weight of 83kg, and we are at our VFR MAUW of 4264kg. MAUW IFR is 4145kg.
I just hope that with all the changes Gippsland Aeronautics are proposing, the empty weight doesn't increase too much!
