Basics on the Lear 45...

[PropsR4Boats]

Could anyone run some numbers for me. Comparing the XL and the 45 need to know second segment and runway from a 3000' MSL airport at 90 and 110 with 2100 lbs of payload and 3500 lbs of gas. If some one has the XL too that would be great.

Thanks all

I'll run the numbers for the 45XR if you verfiy 2,100 payload? That is 9 passenger x 200 lbs each, plus 300 lbs baggage?

Using BOW 14,200 + 3500 Lbs fuel at take off and 2,100 payload for a takeoff weight of 19,800:

At 90 degrees and 3000 PA:

field length 5005
2nd seg 5.2
V1 113
Vr 117
V2 126

At 110 degrees and 3000 PA:

field length 6673
2nd seg 3.1
V1 116
Vr 117
V2 126

I am glad to see I wasn't in the minority because I enjoyed flying the 45.

I enjoyed flying the 45 after the bugs were sorted out, and you weren't getting EICAS messages at the start of every trip. It was a good performer, good interior room and my favorite baggage compartment ever.

Would have been a fine aircraft except for one thing....

They have the WORST pilot seats EVER in the history (or my history) of General Aviation. How ANYONE could sit in one longer than 3 hours without tears in their eyes and an ambulance waiting on arrival is beyond me.
