Actual range of the Lear 35 and 36

[j41driver]

I've heard that the 25 burns almost the same lb/hr on the ground at idle as it does at 410 doing Mmo. Any truth to this?

That is a very correct statement, at idle the fuel flow is the same as 410. On a miss you have to fly fuel flow. That means cruising at 170 to 200 knots instead of 250 down low, a lot of Lear pilot's screw that up. Our outfit was run by hard core Lear drivers from YIP, if you couldn't cut it they walked you out the door.

Yes... well doing M0.78 (Mmo is M0.82)
