I have flown my Texas Skyways 1979 C-182 Q for 800 hours throughout Central America, lots of high altitude and short airfields. Routes are usually within the 150nm range and 12,500 ft cruises are very common. It is the perfect airplane for the mission, the only reason for flying a twin such as an Aztec or Seneca instead could be a large of Px load or px's fear of single engine planes. I plan on 15 gph conservatively and fly with EGT around 1350, which is VERY conservative.
