604 numbers

Using todays winds avg- (230@75) - 4 pax and luggage

Dublin - KKPN - Required Fuel 19300 (with NBAA reserves)

Ultranav T/O data - Max TO weight - 48200
TO Distance - 6033
Speeds 136 / 140 / 147

KOXC - Dublin - (just for the 5000' strip numbers) Required Fuel - 15800 (with NBAA reserves)
Max TO weight - 43374
TO Distance - 4999
Speeds - 128 / 132 / 141

Typical BOW is around 26000- 27500 depending on config.

Doing the math for the 604 out of 5000' looks like:

Max TO Weight - 43374
BOW (worst case) - 27500
Usable = 15874 lbs for fuel, pax and bags.

If required fuel for today is 15800, that doesn't leave much for pax and bags. So it looks like finding a 604 with a BOW in the 26000 - 26750 area is where you need to be.

As for the GIV to Luton, 27 deg and full fuel using 5600' of runway is impressive. The numbers I got from the AFM the other day says that I can depart 5000' at 30 deg and go for 3200 nm. If we reduce temps to 15 deg, we can go for 3400-3500 nm which is deep into Europe.

Thanks for all the good real world info.
