NBAA range

[dtoften]

I was looking at different business airplanes and they mentioned NBAA ranges. Does this differ from FAA requirements? If so, how? And do you use this way of determining ranges? Thx.

If I remember right NBAA Range is:

Fly to destination, miss approach, fly to alternate 200NM away (at LRC) and land and have 45 minutes of fuel left.

Do NBAA range numbers assume some theoritical winds???

Doesn't get any clearer than that!

I knew I was close, just didn't have all the details down.
