You still looking at piston poppers? Oh well...figure 185 down low and 200 up around FL100. Fuel burn 40-45 GPH or so. Not a bad airplane, but lose an engine and you're basically dead. 402C's are nice, but hard to find a good one with Cape Air snapping up every last airplane, and then there's that wing AD.

capseth, everything spot on, except the "lose an engine" thing.
I disagree. It really depends on the circumstances, doesn't it.
Like with any light twin, after take off you're vulnerable, but not necessarily dead.
Any other time is a non event, if you have a plan.
It'll cruise at 12,000-13,000ft on one motor all day, well, til the fuel runs out, even with a load.
