Citation Mustang

[Diesel]

What is the longest legs you are seeing? Also is the AC freon or ACM?

Happened to see some fuel placards on one. Carries just shy of 400 gallons...sooooo....100 gph x 4 = a 4 hr bird, then glider.

So I'm thinking a 3 hour plane with good weather and a 2.5 hour plane in bad weather.

Hmmm...so, 3 hrs blocking 300 knots or so? Seems reasonable block for that plane....900 nm with good wx, and a couple hundred less in bad.

Doesn't seem too bad.

Sure, but how many pax can you fly with full fuel? 1,2,3,4? Not sure.

Cessna's website says full-fuel payload with a single 200lb pilot is 600lb.

 

[ultrarunner]

Sounds about right...

8645 gross - a typical BWO of 5400 - full fuel = about 640 lbs or so...depending of course on the actual BOW.

So it's basically one-crew and two pax with bags. Maybe one more body if they are all small...but everyone is getting fatter...so it's a three person plane on a max-range mission.
