Caribbean to Europe fuel stop

[RubberNeck]

I'll be coming out of St Martin to Loww. Looking for ideas on a fuel stop. How's
[SIZE=-1]Santa Maria? Any other quick places in Portugal or southern Spain ?
Were flying a f900ex.....Thanks for the help.

Used LPAZ out of the Caribbean to Europe on many occasions. It quick and no hassles. The winds can be at times strong but never had a real problem.
That leaves you with roughly a 1900 nm leg into Austria.

Hope this help

We've used Lajes in the Azores. Not bad at all.

Lisbon does decent quick turns...I have used them and had 30 mins on-off before.

That's only a 4200 nm leg downwind, I thought the range guarantee on the Falcon 900EX was 4500 nm.

You could buy a G450 so you didn't have to stop next time or you could stop at Santa Maria which will give you a quick turn and lies under your route of flight adding only 15 minutes to enroute times.

Thats if you want to be towed to the FBO plus you will have to change your undies!!!!

The range guarantee on the G450 at spec completion weight is 4,450 nm with 8 passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves (200 nm alternate).

Last year we flew hondouras - very quick tech stop in the Bahamas and on to Frankfurt in our F900EX

PS I would NEVER fly a 900 4500nm -

Geez, I could have sworn he was asking for ideas for a fuel stop, not a G sales pitch.....

But I did like Falcon's "it's a 9000 NM airplane with one stop" sales pitch

I show it a 9+41 flight plan, 17,820lb at LRC.

Thats pretty easy if you can deal with LRC and 9+41 on a 900EX cabin...ugh.

Thats landing with an easy 3,000lbs - no problem in a 900. 4500nm is very possible, its just painful.

me? - yeah Id stop....same time and you get to stretch.

If you are flying LRC, what airspeed to you file and maintain as it pertains to postion reporting and what is expected in non-radar environments.
