Just wondering if anyone could post any real world Bravo numbers. I've seen the Cessna book numbers on it, but it might be a little exaggerated?

Looking for the normal stuff. Range? Full tanks, full seats? Speeds, LRC, HSC? Fuel burns? Typical pilot shat.

A friend of mine is looking for one. The normal mission would be 600-800 NM, 4-6 people, occasionally a 1,200 mile trip down south with 2 or 3 people. Seems like it would be a great airplane.

Thanks in advance....
 
Plan on a true airspeed cruise of between 360 at FL 410 to 390 at FL 340. Based on climbing to say 400 or 410 and cruising at normal cruise, you can figure burning about 1300 lbs for the first hour, 900 for the second and 800 for each hour after that. The tanks hold 4860. You can carry full fuel with 2 people and some baggage. I would say 1200 miles with two people is possible with little or no head wind effect and landing with IANO reserves. I just through in a flight plan from ATL to ABQ which is 1126 miles. It showed an average headwind of 40 knots. The flight was estimated to take 3:40 and land with 1200 lbs. That is 200 lbs more than CS min of 1000. Hope this helps

You could also probably sneak in the 600 miles with 6 people but not 800 miles.
