Falcon Fuel burn numbers

[LJ45]

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.

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

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...

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.)
