Question for LJ45 drivers.

Is it normal to configure for landing at 3,000 AFL, on G/S.

Maybe, Usually VFR about 5 miles out or so (outer marker area)
Schools teach GS capture flaps 20 Gear down.

The airplane doesn't pick up a lot of drag until full flaps (flaps 40)

at 5 mi out your only 1500 ft agl... i dont think fully config. at 3000 ft is normal even per flight safety

can any one tell me the Takeoff field length for the Lear 60... Max TOW, ISA, SL no anti ice or rain or anything.

The 45 is a great airplane. The 60 is one of those airplanes that has too much power, the gear and brakes are from the 31 making it prone to brake replacement. I have had the 45 up to 490 myself and you will get .80 out of it. I know alot of owners of the sixty love the 45 because of the increased seats and the large baggage compartment. On a side note the 60 has the worst lav system known to man. Some brilliant engineer thought that a turd would never have a diameter bigger then a quater. Genius!


Go with the 45

That is a TON of runway your eating up....way more than the 35. Guess the extra 5000 lbs will do it.

Wha-choo-takin-bout Willis? Airplanes are just like cars, boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc. You can never have too much power.
