Re: Best Single Pilot IFR Plane

Thanks.  Range, speed and fuel burn vary a lot with altitude and
temperature, but typical fuel burn at cruise in the mid 20s is 85GPH.  No
wind range with IFR reserves is listed as 1395nm but this is unachievable in
practice.  A more realistic range number is 1200nm.  Coast to coast requires
one fuel stop going east and two (rarely three) going westbound.

The original poster said that he wanted to be able to get places on a
schedule.  What that requires depends on where you are and where you are
going, but to me it requires radar, known ice, high altitude capability and
range.
