F2TH performance

He blocked 430 kts. So, yeah, that leg will have a + tailwind. I'd say it was super LRC!

The other issue is the lack of system redundancy. We NEVER took it to Europe. Unlike a Challenger that has a RAT or a Gulfstream that has an ABEX (hyd driven generator) the 2000 has NOTHING! They even went as far as only putting in one battery. We never took it to Hawaii either, I believe the older ones had an O2 wet foot print problem on that leg.

Flown the 2000EX all around the world (thus lots of water) I have yet to have both generators fail AND the APU fail as well. Not sure what the issue is here.

6+58? Was it at FL470 Mach .70?

Mach .75. I think we ended up at FL450. 5 pax. We also were very weight conscious when we completed the airframe new. Smaller galley, seats spread out, no cabin partition door, etc. Our BOW is 22,700, rather low for a classic. Some are 1000 lbs heavier. That helps!

If I recall correctly, flight plan called for +3 wind.
