I tried to put that leg in ARINC and it wouldn't generate a flight plan as it exceeded OUR GV's performance. Our longest leg has been LAS-LGAV (Athens). I couldn't/ wouldn't push it much further than that.Thanks.
Friend said a guy was claiming to regularly do KLAX-OMDB, he and I both thought that was stretching the G's legs.
Ive done Madrid to Santiago Chile. 14.1 Landed with 2800 lbs
I've done Toledo, Ohio to Bahrain, landing with about 4000 lbs and Houston to Kiev, about 4500 lbs. We could do Houston to West Africa with a good tailwind and at .80, but you have zero fuel reserves for a divert. It is much safer to get gas in PR or Cape Verde and the stop is less than an hour. About the longest in the GV is about 6000 nm, a bit longer in the G550. Unless you have a huge tailwind like 200 knots for the whole trip, you ain't doing 7000 nm in a GV with any reserves even at LRC.
