Wow, you are up late. So that is a 45 minute reserve based on a fuel load in a standard caravan. Doesn’t really apply to a battery charge, or does it? Details like that would need to be described in detail in the supplement that will have to be issued for the electric engine version of the plane. I would believe what’s in that supplement when it’s issued as it’s based on flight test data. I wouldn’t believe anything from marketing, which is what you have in the article and company websites.

Retired. Late movie with wife! At least know you better understand the POH for the plane you fly.

The table will, of course, have to be modified as the range will change. But that was not the point of my post.

My post was addressing your statement that the POH max ranges do not include nor should it include FAA required fuel reserves when it clearly does.
