2400 nm range

[ty737]

what is the best airplane in 2400 nm range category?

Hawker 800xp with winglets would work well. What is the pax load and runway requirements at each end?

 

[TMMT]

Just based on the 2400 nm range requirement I'd have to go with the F-22, buts that's ferry range...

Need some more info. How much $$$ is in the aircraft budget? Are you looking new, used, does it matter? How much $$$ for the DOC? Any particular runway performance in mind? How many persons and how much baggage on average?

Good thing above 390 and 5,000 strips aren't requirements.

A Falcon 50, doesn't even need to be an EX. Late model straight 50s are going extremely reasonable and there are still some great deals still out there for 50EXs.

I say 2000 or 50. Both are very reasonably priced, however you will get lower DOC's with the 2000. If you want to spend lots of time in the shop, get an Astra .... we used to operate one before we got a Falcon 2000.

 

[con-pilot]

The way I have always approached the request to operate an aircraft with a desired specific range, is to recommend an aircraft with about 25% to 30% more range.

So for 2,400 miles, get an aircraft with at least 3,000 mile range. So a Falcon 50 well exceeds that percentage and has excellent short runway requirements, especially for the price that they are going for today.

I second this. Nice aircraft available in the 5 mil neighborhood. A little extra for proline 21 is worth it.

I second that!

If we keep our heads down maybe he won't notice we're in here.

Seconding or thirding the Falcon 50.
