What is the fuel endurance of an EC-135 if the Transfer Pumps are not turned on during the Start....and left off during the flight. Start with the assumed 400KG of Fuel they had at the start. How long would you have been able to fly?
400 - 76 = 324 kgs

From the report, "Using an average fuel consumption of 200 kg/hr" (3.33 kg/min)

… about 97 minutes!

20:45 to 22:22 = 1hr 37 minutes!
