Falcon Fuel burn numbers

[rotor&wing]

Can someone here fill me in on the fuel burn for a Falcon 100, Falcon 50 and Falcon 900?

Also any information on DOC for these planes or where to find it?

Thanks!

Rotor, I can give you some intel on the 100:

It's a 4 hour airplane to dry-tanks when flown at .83 or so.

As I recall from those days, the burns are:

1800
1600
1400
1200

The DOC's on the 10's are a bit pricey, and the newest 100 out there is almost 20 years old....

They don't break much, but when they do, things like hydraulic pumps and flight-control actuator packs are wicked expensive.

With the current price of fuel, 1600 bucks and hour to budget for directs on a 10/100 would not be out of line, depending upon airframe age, inspection status, etc....

The Falcon 50ex sips fuel at cruise. And, has the security of a third engine, something the Legacy can't provide!

Donning flak jacket now....

There goes Rumrnnr stirring the pot again. Didnt we learn anything from the Falcon 50EX thread grasshopper? Falcon 50EX burns around 2100 pounds an hour total in upper thirties.

DA-50EX Climb 300 kts / .80M, Cruise .80M:

hour 1 - 3,000
hour 2 - 2,500
hour 3 - 2,400
hour 4 - 2,300
hour 5 - 2,100
hour 6 - 2,000

He is at that "other" site. I tried to give you the name but this site blocks that.

FalconCaptain is on the Pro Pilot World website.
The numbers for the 10 and 50 above are accurate. We plan our 900EX fuel at the same as the 50. Just add 4 more hours of endurance.
as for DOCs, I don't really keep track of that, but the 10 is getting expensive to operate. Ours will be going away soon, I'm told, to be replaced with another 50...
If cost is no object, the 2000 is the way to go. It's most of the cabin of the 900, with lower operating cost that any of them.

So that's how you get the name of the other site from being blocked..

Hey I once won a photo contest over there before I got thrown out for being falsely accused of stealing the database.

Life is so unfair.

Heeeeey! Nothing vanishes on the internet! Best career move I made was to get laid off! Had I been offered the job and move to Dallas I could be making the money I am making now...in twenty five years!

Drinks on me when you get to Hong Kong. Your gonna love this part of the world!

Where is LD? I hope he is well.

Cheers- Rum

P.S. Just got back from Saigon. Fookin awesome city! 333 beer is the ticket.

I was doing Mach .80+ at FL450 for a total of 1600 lbs per hour in a CL300 the other day, pretty cool ... no need for a 3rd engine

Actually we are pretty close to those numbers in the 900EX at FL450...

You're actually claiming a Falcon 900EX can even GET to 450, and then go nearly .80 burning 500 pph/eng? Have I got that right? I'm impressed.

 

[Kingairrick]

I've had our 900EX all the way up to FL510 @.80...don't remember the fuel burn. 450 is easy...

 

[LongBoarder]

I would say that the only way to get the 900EX to FL510 is in the last 30 mins before TOD and ISA-10 and then on top of that landing at a KAVU airport in the middle of nowhere with 1500# of fuel...

 

[Kingairrick]

You're not far off. We did it at the end of a PHNL-KPIE leg. I don't remember the temp, but we landed with 2200lbs...

Agree, 450 is no big deal in a 900EX or a 50EX for that matter.

I've had 727-100s up to 410 a few times, does that count?

DA-50EX Climb 300 kts / .80M, Cruise .80M: DA - 50 You can figure 270 to .76 @ 150 less an hour

hour 1 - 3,000
hour 2 - 2,500
hour 3 - 2,400
hour 4 - 2,300
hour 5 - 2,100
hour 6 - 2,000

Same as GE on the 20 = 3,000lbs first hour (couple of times 2850)
TFE on the 20 = 2400 1st hour with TR's
" " = 2200 " " " w/out


Schedule is the same for both the straight 50.

The 50 climbs faster without much more weight or decrease in speed! Thus the lower fuel burn....-40's GET SOME!!!!

Where is LD? I hope he is well.

I'm alive. Not "well" but alive.

And no, I am not gonna' get baited into another 50EX bashing session... (The Legacy is light years better in just about all departments and costs the same per hour to fly, but the OP didn't ask about the EMB--he asked about Falcons.)
