Robin DR400/180 Régent CO₂ emissions per flight hour
The Robin DR400/180 Régent has the wood-and-fabric airframe and sliding canopy of the DR400 family, with four full seats and a 180 hp Lycoming O-360. French flying clubs often use it for touring and trips with passengers. At a typical fuel flow of 10.3 US gallons (39 L) of avgas per hour, a Robin DR400/180 Régent puts about 86 kg of CO₂ into the air for every hour flown.

How the Robin DR400/180 Régent compares
CO₂ per flight hour for common piston aircraft, at typical cruise fuel flow.
How we calculate this
Burning one US gallon of avgas releases about 8.31 kg of CO₂, so CO₂ per hour is fuel flow multiplied by 8.31. The figure covers combustion only, not producing or transporting the fuel.
Your real fuel flow depends on power setting, mixture, altitude and how much of the hour you spend climbing. If your logs give you an average burn, multiply it by 8.31 for a closer number.
