12.5K is max with no ox. Up to 14K for 30 minuts with no ox. My 182B has 55 usable. 45 galons gets me about 4 hrs and at 120 kts that is 480 nautical miles or 552 statute mile and I could care less about kilometers.

I can and have gone longer but with those crappy gauges it just take the fun out of flying when to be in the air with the gauges on E.

This flight I am talking about just may be a dream cus I am in northern Kalifornia. Been to Belize trice and think that flying would be great fun.

I'm not saying dont do it, it's an adventure, for sure. We stopped in Tampico and Villa Hermosa going down, and Veracruz coming back.
We were just flying VFR, and there's (not supposed to be) VFR GA flight after dark there. That has been a few years ago, so things have probably changed and gotten better.

A bit off the thread but does anyone know the cost of flying a rented plane to Belize from say Seattle? One that holds 10 people. A friends wife is a corp. jet pilot and an FAA inst. With the cost of air fare and all. Just wondering.

A LOT ! Check with a local FBO. There may be some requirements for international travel.

Surprised Reaper hasn't been on here. He can say from first hand experience what it costs to bring a plane down here.

Not the same type A/C champion is referring to.
