Performance of P337 with GAMI and intercoolers
Dear All,
I am currently a Beech driver and flying a V35 Bonanza equipped with TKS tip tanks in Europe now almost 8 years I have that aircraft It has served me well and I love flying the Beech. My mission is 600Nm West East bound over central Europe with some terrain up to 7000Ft for 40 Minutes. destination aerodrome is VFR with about 2000Ft concrete with grass extensions so no worries. I have done this many times but the older I get the more I long for more redundancy in systems..Mostly I flew alone or a another Pilot however want to take my kids along and this changes a bit on how I look at this mission. From April till end of September I always have to deal with TCUs in that area and having a turbo would solve a big part of that problem also to be able to climb out potential icing. I can cruise my Bo at 11000 around 12 Gallons doing 160Kts TAS. Doing this mission with a P337 equipped with 123 Gallons total seems doable? I read 25GPH which seems quite a lot...I never saw TAS numbers for 50% power. I am looking at the same bird as alainb wanted to buy, however what I understood he didn't go for it...What can I realistically expect in TAS when running this bird on 50% at 17000. Radar, Boots, intercooler, GAMIs..Fuel is expensive in Europe...Thanks for your input
