Socata TB-20 Trinidad CO₂ emissions per flight hour
The Socata TB-20 Trinidad is the retractable-gear model of the French TB family, built in Tarbes. It has four or five seats, gull-wing doors and a 250 hp Lycoming with a constant-speed propeller. At a typical fuel flow of 14.0 US gallons (53 L) of avgas per hour, a Socata TB-20 Trinidad puts about 116 kg of CO₂ into the air for every hour flown.

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.
