I don't work the 604, but guys I know on it have been saying lately they are working their tails off but so is everyone everywhere these days...

For a typical idea of schedules go to flightaware dot com and look up the aircraft by TNXXXFX for 135 trips or LXJXXX for part 91 legs using our 604 identifiers starting at 320 and going up from there. To get an accurate idea you will have to do both for any given plane.

Hope you can get some info there...

Too much information! Your post reminded be that this web site existed. I had never really explored it so I just spent some time with it. It tells you everything and in some cases too much. For instance, I wanted to see what kind of ground speeds the C750's were achieving with the strong winds today so I selected a flight from SDF to HVN. It clearly showed that he was cooking - 661 knots across the ground, but it also clearly showed that he was 400 feet off altitude at 07:49. I'm getting that thing blocked for us!

If I'm operating an aircraft for a private operation, I would certainly consider blocking the N-Number of all aircraft in my operation. However, nowadays many people who have a legitimate reason to be tracking your aircraft use these websites. For example, have you hired a company to do your flight following as part of your safety and security plan? Maybe the boss' travel coordinator wants to see exactly where the airplane is so that she can have all the arrangements in place on the west coast by arrival time (perhaps he was running behind and got a late departure). Yes, the downside to all this is that anyone with knowledge of your N-number and internet access can watch what you're doing. The fact is that those who really want to know the comings and goings of your aircraft will find it, even if your N-number is blocked.

Regarding the apparent altitude errors. Please read the FAQ's on flightaware. There are many reasons that the website may be showing altitude errors, but in reality the aircraft is spot on where it needs to be.

Sorry for the hijack of the thread. Now back to your regulary scheduled topic...

Thanks for your post. We are a corporate entity with our own security and internal tracking. I was being facetious about the altitude excursions, but the website did sensitize me to the volume of information available. We do a lot of mergers and aquisitions. Although the trips supporting that activity are blended in with the normal flights for the CEO and President of our company and flights for our segment CEOs, a savvy Wall Street type might be able to gain more information than he should really know by tracking our Gulfstreams.

Now back to "A Day in the Life of a CL604 Pilot". My apologies for the continuuing hijack...
