Funny- I remember the leg was in a old G4 from LOWW to HPN, 9+25, landed with approx 1700 lbs.

Wow, thats a little tight! That is the longest I have heard of a 4 doing.

yep, it was. it was a nice day and clear all †he way down from Newfi. we thought about bailing out for Bangor, but decided to press on. not sure i would do it again. it was back in the early 90's.

Aww...the 90's. When landing with 20 minutes of fuel was an acceptable practice. Kind of reminds me of Kramer in a Sienfeld episode.

Yeah, I get nervous with anything less then 3000 lbs, does that make me a pu$$y?

 

[G3G4G5]

I'm a pu$$y too!

No problem in a 450. If you want to stretch her out a little longer and be a man, taking her up to FL450 will definitely get ya there, even at .84.

Unfortunately the 450's are too pricey.........but let's just wait and see.........

Really...

Longest flight I ever did on a IV-SP was 10 hours flat. Miami to Milan. 2 Pax. Landed with 2600 lbs.

Must be well below ISA over the N.Atl.

That and you have to be 25,000 lbs. under MTOW AND at .83 for an ISA day. AND no headwind...

EINN or KBGR for me.

what are you saying? you won't extend the range doing m84. we are talking about a g450 not a g550. please clarify
