These are probably the two most important figures:
Max Payload 2,500/1,134
Fuel With Max Payload 4,300/1,950
With RFDS fit outs weighing in at anything up to 500kg and allowing for two crew (and sundry gear), it should be able to uplift around 2300kg of fuel (5070 lbs). If ik978's fuel burn figures are correct it will be a very useful machine.

PS: Not sure why they haven't gone B350's in WA, marginally quicker than a B200 (but makes a significant difference on sectors over 300nm), can carry a full load and enough fuel to outlast your bladder every single time!
