G-IV Fuel Burn

[GVFlyer]

What's the max fuel? What's a typical min landing fuel #? How many hours endurance?

Maximum fuel is 29,500 lbs, however, if you can get more fuel than that onboard such action is approved. I've loaded 30,500 lbs onboard on a cold day at Edmonton, Alberta.

I've flown the G-IVSP 9:20. The guarantee is for 9:16. The longest flight I know of was 10:20 between LSGG and DAL which was flown by one of the Demo guys at Gulfstream (who now works for Oprah).

Could you make it to Buenos Aires from Southern FL?

MIA - SAEZ direct is 3828 nm - 8:20.

It's 3989 nm and 8:41 if you chose to route over Manaus (SBEG).
If you select this routing on the way back, Aruba (TNCA) falls out under the course if you encounter adverse winds.

Keep in mind that the G450 will fly 400 nm farther than the G-IVSP.

Guess I should have specified M.80 on that fuel wag...

I have done Miami - Milan Nonstop. 10 hours flat at M.76. We started at FL370, crossing was at FL390 and only made it up to FL430 before it was time to come down. We landed with 3000 lbs of fuel. VFR day. Part91 of course.

Do any of you G-IV drivers have any real world operating cost for the IV. Company has sold the G-III and is considering a G-IV. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
