Not sure what your motivation is for the inquiry, but if it's for actual usage, keep this in mind....

depending upon mission length, with the cost some outfits are charging for C550's, if you go more than 350 miles it's usually cheaper to use a faster aircraft like a LR35, Falcon 10, etc...as the rates for those aircraft are comparable and they fly a good 100kts faster.

Naturally, this does not take into account any issues as far as potentially having to position something vs. using a local plane, but you get the picture.

Thanks Ultrunner,
I can do the math. The visit to aircraft.com really gave me the answer I wanted. That is, the range of things. A few guys at 1500, some at 1850-1900. Most in between and closer to 1600 I think.

Do they put an hour/day min? So if you have it on a 3 day trip, besides pilot fees and expenses for 3 days do they try to get 2-3 hours/day, even if it is only say 2 hours each way?

The norm for the industry is a two hour minimum per day and no wait time on jets. Some companies are now charging fuel surcharges.
