Is it possible to make a trip from Key West to Cancun, Mexico in a Piper
Warrior?. Has anyone done it in a Warrior? Any tips or advice? Anything in

The trip looks like 350 NM. With a full 50 gallons at the POH rate of 9gph
that's 5 hours of flight time with a 5 gallon reserve that translate's to over
30 minutes. Seems like there is no fuel issue, unless you have a hellacious
headwind. Actual fuel usage will likely be lower. I rarely use more than 8 gph
in my 1978 Warrior, and most of the time at cruise it is around 7.5 gph.
However, I ALWAYS plan for the POH number of 9 gph.
