Print this flight card out for your easy reference during the flight (Note: only available up to the date of the flight):

G’day Captains. For this event, I’d suggest the Bonanza or Baron. We have 328nm to run, so an aircraft that will cruise at 180knots will cover the distance in under 2hrs. Add touch and goes and our 10min stop over and you start to approach the 3hrs.
