Multi Time $150/hr. Wet
Looking for pilot(s) to share time in a Beechcraft Duke for $150/hr. Wet. Fly with A CFII/MEI out of Boise, ID. Hours can be used towards IPC, BFR, High Alt. Endorsement, or just time building. Respond to thread for details.

Definately an interesting aircraft, I've flown in one once and it's just easiest to describe it as different.

Yes, that's true. You must be multi instrument rated before you begin as I don't like to do initial multis in a complex aircraft like this. All flights will original out of S67 which is about 10 mile west of Boise, ID (KBOI). If interested email [email protected]

Because the plane probably costs $300/hr to operate, and the rest will be left to reasons unknown. You figure fuel burn of 40gph since those engines are comparable to the ones in the Navajo's, I'd say you're burning $160-200/hr in fuel, the rest in Mx, that's probably about right.

Yeah, it's a fun plane. It burns 74 GPH on climb out and 45 - 50 GPH during cruise. I typically run between $250 and $300 per hour to run. Remember this is a pay-for-fuel-only offer. I have to make these flights regardless, so I may as well help someone else out and we can save each other some of the expense.
I guess I wasn't even thinking, it's like strapping two Mirage's/Matrix's together and combining their fuel burn(which is about 40gph initial, 32gph cruise climb, 20-22gph cruise)
