volunteer said:How many G.P.H. does the Baron burn?
We run ours at 25" or max throttle, and 2500 RPM consistently...averages about 30 GPH at those settings.
Want to make some gas? Slow up to 120 kts at 2000 RPM and whatever throttle it takes to make the airspeed at the altitude you're at, and the flow goes WAY down. Helpful in the northeast, especially this time of year, if you can hold between layers or above it in the clear, wait until the courier is at the airport, then dive down, land, turn in a hurry, and be on your way. Minimal ice collection in all but the heaviest of icing conditions.
The Baron is an awesome airplane, I would also like to own one someday. Next to the A-10, it has some of the nicest control and handling characteristics out there.
