Challenger 604 #'s

How would a 604 perform out of Leadville (9934 ft MSL and 6400 ft runway) during the summer time with 4 people and bags on a 650 nm flight? What about Eagle with the same profile?

Can't do leadville. Off the top of my head you would be around 37,000 TO weight. BOW 27800
fuel 8000
pax 800
20c

v1 135
vr 137
v2 141
vt 171

You would need around 7800 ft of runway at 10000 MSL.

Vail can be done but I don't think you can meet the published departure climb gradient.
I think Vail is around 6000 MSL??
v1 126
vr 130
v2 137
vt 165
5970 ft of runway

Basically if you will be doing much mountain or short field flying this is not your airplane.

That sums it up nicely...
