KHXD to KMSP, btw. Sorry. Typo.

I hope I didn't screw up any of the numbers transferring them over. Tedious work! LOL

After running these #s the wind changed and fuel burn went down to 5342 lbs. Mach 0.76 adds 200 lbs. to the burn.

I hope this is what you were looking for. I did not plug in an actual alternate. You asked for one 100 NM away. Guess I'm too tired to think of one at the moment.

Edit In:

KBRD is 99 NM away. No idea lengths etc. just used it for distance. Need 900 lbs to get there. Forty-five minutes Reserve at KBRD is showing up as 1400 lbs which I'm not sure I trust.

It is tight if you have to miss and go to the ALT. Depends on a lot of factors. Doable yes. Just depends on how close one wishes to shave it. I personally prefer to shoot for 2000 lbs. reserve at the alternate.


Eighty percent landing #s coming later.

Our lowly Falcon will do that trip 25 mins faster at slow cruise of .83, climb at 320, cruise at FL 430....oh.....and burn less gas......and has an extra engine.

Cabin altitude will also be 3900ft.

Push it up to .89 and get there 34mins faster.

270/.74??? and use all that fuel? Why?

 

[LegacyDriver]

Our lowly Falcon will...

And I'm supposed to take your word for it right?

Not that it matters.

Or maybe just trust Arinc?...

and because G200 is kind, I will save you the painful South American math and give you the rough French numbers:

50KTS more TAS
5-10K ft higher with a far lower cabin (1000ft at FL270, 3900ft at FL410, 6000ft at FL510)
15mins faster
LESS FUEL
ONE EXTRA ENGINE...oh hell, why not?


Also - if we really wanted to get wild and crazy we could carry 26,000lbs of fuel out off Runway 21....and arrive at MSP with 7.5 hrs reserve.

I ran these quick for you, so I didn't make up any alternates, pick anywhere in the USA - it will make it there.

OR...if we were feeling really Brazilian slow we could go LRC and do it in Legacy Mode:

Summary:

Even at LRC of 450TAS (which we never fly) you will get there 10 mins faster and burn 500lbs less fuel in the lowly Falcon that cant perform anywhere near to what the Legacy can....and hell, we dont even have the special high and hot Goodyears on the ole French junk this time of year!...cant wait till summer!


But I know I know...none of this matters.

Disregard, wrong flight plan posted.

Generic Legacy flight plan, showing higher fuel burn and several minutes longer enroute.
Computed at .74 as well, and roughly the same wind component.

More like your favorite 3rd World Punching Bag.



Looks like you didn't beat me by 38 mins as you boasted but rather 13. Burned more gas to do it as well with fifteen knots less on the nose than my figures. Oh well.

May as well throw Mach .89 up there just for fun.

Is LRC 450 KTAS?

LRC is posted there LD....450KTAS.

Where did it burn more fuel?...never more and hell, almost 500lbs less at the slowest speed ARINC will run us...which is still faster and more efficient than the regional airliner. Maybe someone can post DA2000EX/LX numbers and see what happens with one less engine?...

Falcons may not be my favorite airplanes either LD, but they are efficient and some of them have impressive performance (for the operating $$$)

It is what it is and if it pays the bills thats good....but those EMB numbers are pretty pathetic.
