To answer the questions above, we landed with about 1000 lbs. Climb to 310 (3 minutes), level for 3 more, flight idle glide to the pattern.
I'm not neccessarily condoning this flight, it was early in my career acting as a contract pilot. It was fun though. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right?
I'm personally a fuel chicken. 1000 for a trip, 1000 reserve, a couple of hundred more for unforseen stuff, and a couple hundred more for good measure, right? The only time you have too much fuel is when your on fire.
The Falcon 20F has a Vmo of 390 all the way down. Makes for impressive high speed passes and such.
