In an effort to help charter clients understand the payload limitations of our aircraft, we’ve put together the following chart of payload (total passenger and baggage weight) vs. flight time.

To use this chart, follow find the Payload Weight value for the total weight you expect to have on board. If the exact weight amount is not shown, choose the next higher amount. Then follow that line across to the time column. This will tell you the maximum amount of time we can fly with your payload between refueling stops.

These calculations assume reserve fuel as required by the FAA and operations in normal conditions. Lower flight times may apply if any of the following are true:

• the flight is to be conducted hot conditions
• the flight will depart from or land at a high elevation location
• the flight requires unusual flight maneuvers or out of ground effect hover operation

Contact us for details if you expect your flight’s total payload to exceed 600 lbs.
