Short Field Performance - Best Swept-Wing Corp. Jet?

[SCT]

GVFLYER,

I have a question for you.
Why does Gulfstream start there second segment legs at 70' and not the FAA 35'? Any ideas?
I was in 604 recurrent last week and this question was brought up during performance day. Is it because the gear is slower to get in the wells?

Just wondering,

EMB Balance Field ?

Can the EMB fly from TEB to VNY and take-off on a hot summer afternoon and NOT use Runway 19? I do not know the answer to this but some folks have been implying that the EMB is a little short on performance.

Figure summer winds at 30 kt headwind and temps of 32 C. If you need more than 6000' of runway you cannot do this.

Thanks

FAR Part 25 Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Aircraft, sub section B, section 25.111, 25.113, 25.115 and 25.117 specifies that climb requirements are the same for all T-category aircraft.

Large Cabin aircraft Dimensions are as follows:

G550 - 43'11"L X 7'4"W X6'2" H
F900EX - 33'2"L X 7'8"W X 6'2"H
CL604 - 25'6"L X 8'2"W X 6'1"H

The Legacy dimensions are:

Total interior length: 43 X 6'11"W X 5'10"H (I don't have Cabin length)

Direct Operating Costs are:

G550- 1912.00
F900EX - 1668.00
CL604 - 1463.00
F2000EX -1382.00
Jungle Jet - 1615.00


Legacy T/O and Ldg, MTOW, SL, Standard Day:

T/O - 5770
Ldg. (MLW) - 2663

A G550 fueled for a 3,300nm trip at Mach .85 with an initial altitude of 43,000 feet (exceeding the Legacy's max range at .74 mach) would achieve the following numbers:

T/O - 3630
Ldg - 2217


Yes... and the G550 goes into 15,000 foot airports.

Thanks G-V. Those #s should just about put to rest the silliness of comparing the Legacy to the G-V/Global-class, and doesn't even stack up well vs. the Falcon 9000/2000, Challengers either (not to mention being more expensive to operate). Pretty hard to get over one huge deficit you've listed..it's not a stand-up cabin. No use talking about it anymore relative to any of the above if it doesn't even offer that.

But on to bigger things...I noticed on another thread someone finally challenged the premise of the BBQ subject, and I agree; If it ain't pork and from the Carolinas.....it ain't BBQ!
