Hows the Falcon 20?

[JJET44]

Hawker 800A

We're looking for something newer and still in production.

I'm sure that it's WAY out of our price range. What does one go for? Plus our hanger Clearance is low.

Not sure any more.

They started at around $17M but with the weak dollar they're up around $23M-$25M or so...

AJI? I don't work for no stinkin' AJI! CK baby all the way, lol. We have a couple oldies, we have the #3 Falcon 20 too stuffed away in a hanger in Northern Michigan. Had the 7th Lear built ever, the 23 Younkin flew in airshows after he got it off of us.

I guess that would be why.

That's about what a pilot at Netjets flys and here's their pay scale, great benifits package and $69,188. salary starting first day of indoc

So are most corp gigs salaries in the ballpark of NetJets salaries?

Anyone have any basic info on the 20? Like weights, range, etc. I know it may depend on engines just ballparking.

I fly both the CF-700 and TFE731 powered Falcons. Both engines are very dependable but of course the 731's burn a fraction of the fuel. Max ZFW is 22,000 on both and your basic speed limits are Vmo-350 and Mmo-0.85, later models and some service bulletins up it to a little higher, but that is basically it.

Basic and D models with CF-700-2D-2's has a MTOW of 28,660, MLW of 27,320. A "D" model will hold in the neighborhood of 8400 pounds of fuel which allows you to do 2+45ish and land with reserves. Basics hold a little less, more like 7800-8000. My longest leg non-RVSM is about 1200nm. I plan for 420 knots burning 2400 pph total although it usually ends up being a little less.

I fly a Basic-5(731 motors) as well and the MTOW is 29,100 and this one in particular holds about 7800 pounds of fuel. MLW is 27,734. You will basically burn about 1500 pounds per hour and get 430ish in the mid 30's. I haven't done any long legs in it yet but 1800-2000nm should be no problem.
