Basler -67 performance from the FM, for S/L at ISA+20* (35*C).
Climb weight limit = 26,550lbs, MTOW 28,750 available at -7.5*C.
A/Go (over 35ft) for 28,750lbs = 5,600ft, A/Go for 26,550lbs = 3,750ft.
A/Stop Dist for 28,750lbs = 4,667ft, A/Stop Dist for 26,550ft = 3,750ft.
Landing Dist (over 50ft) for 28,750lbs = 3,650ft, Landing Dist for 26,550ft = 3,100ft.

Unfortunately the standard FAA FM from Basler is very "light" when it comes to fuel consumption figures, we ended up using modified Beech 1900D power/fuel flow tables (as 1900D has -67D engines and Basler has -67R engines), with no ramp weight or taxi/takeoff fuel burn published.
Typically 8000ft at ISA+20 we would achieve 180KTAS at 900lbs/hr

Empty weight of our aircraft was 16,335lbs, so typical max fuel & payload for 26,550lbs TOW was 10,215lbs (4,632kg)
