Re: Fuel used per hour

As a general rule of thumb. You can expect 1gallon per hour/ 20 hp. So if your C-180 produces 230 hp, you can expect and flight plan for 11.5 gph. Likewise, if you operate a C-185/206 at 300 hp, your looking at 15 gph.
Hope this is helpful. ( 1 gallon/ 20 hp/ hr.)

Re: Is it possible to get hired with Restricted Medical "with or as co-pilot" category 1?

It’s a good question. We hired an individual with the same restrictions you mentioned about 5-6 years ago. It was easy for us, as they had the qualifications required. All of our flights where conducted in a 2 crew environment, so it wasn’t much of a restriction. (703-704 operation)
I hope that helps.

It’s a great idea. I did just that at a sports show in Calgary. That was in 1980, I got a job for my efforts.
