Anyone have hourly fuel burns for a straight G-IV (Non SP)? THey are not in fltplan.com's database, so I was wanting get ahold of them if any has them. Straight hourlys or individual altitude cruise burns. Either one would be appreciated. Please post them here, or if you have a fltplan.com acct with the G-IV in it, I can get the #s from there. Either way, thanks in advance.

BTW, if you know of a good climb schedule, that would be appreciated as well.

@ISA M.80, I have had good luck with
71,000# = FL410
63,000# - FL430
55,000# - FL450

Because it's easy to remember
 
1st hour 4500
2nd hour 3500
3rd and beyond 3000

@ M .80

These numbers are somewhat conservative, but work well for flight planning.

:D
 
Mine Where
1st 5000
2nd 3000
3rd 3000
4th 3000
5th-9th 2500, Climb, Cruise, Descent @ 300/.80, initial @ FL400/FL410

The 300/.80 C/C/D schedule works well for you and pax comfort. .80 is a niece quiet cruise as apposed to .83 as some fly at. .80 save you about 3000lbs over a six hour period, and if you do a lot of long legs this helps with $$$$

In my 4sp with normal climbout,
1st 4400#
2nd 8000
3rd 11000
4th 14000
5th 17000
6th 20000
7th 23000
these are conservative, after the 4th or 5th you can drop a couple hundred per hour. Can save more at 450. but we are usually 410 or so.
Today I did 7.5 hours and burned 23400#
FL 380/.81 for an hour, crossed the atlantic at Fl400/.80 and coasted in climbing to 430/.80
Yesterday a flight at FL320/.84 was 1.0 flight time and 4750 burned, the day before that was 6:48 with a 21890 burn.

I had a long flight last month 8.7 hours and 26420 burn
 
No problem hawkerfo, I was not real clear, just showing accumulating, just the easiest way for my challenged noggin to guestimate. we can put on just over #30000 if cold out.
