Which jet would work?

[Kingairrick]

Straight 50 (not EX):
Field elev: 1000ft
Temp: 25 C
Runway 4000'
MATOW: 34280 = 12000 lb useful load
You're landing in TEB with 4 pax, bags, and 3000 lbs in the tanks...

Folks,
The replies are appreciated, and I'm not just trying to post a B.S. posting. Budget is somewhat unlimited in that even a top-of-the-line Gulfstream-type jet would be considered. Number of folks/pax: usually 4 or less. If you've actually got time in a "contender", speak up.
Thanks.

4 pax or less with budget constraints and a 5,000 or 6,000 foot runway then it would be tough to beat an Astra SPX/G100. I've flown many trips from the Seattle/Portland area to London with one stop with 4 passengers. It's not the roomiest of cabins, but with 4 it's doable. It will non-stop coast to coast either direction day-in, day-out with 4 or 5 pax and do it with plenty of fuel reserves. If your budget will allow more then the larger Gulfsteams, Falcons, Challengers, etc will, of course, all do it. It really boils down to how much of their money are they willing to spend.

if you have a choice, or say in the matter ( and your post inferred you do), then i would forget the day to day operation out of a 4000' airport. a 6000' runway will give you many more options in the future as well as increase your safety margins every time you takeoff or land.

number of pax is somewhat irelevant as many large corp acft carry 1 -4 people on a typical trip. it is nice to have the extra seats just in case they want to bring friends and/or family. if you are going across the country or ponds you want them to be comfortable. you need a wide body, stand-up cabin for that ( preferrably one with big oval windows ). that narrows your choice to only a few manufacturers.

show me the money

OK, Falcon 900EX:
33Million (nicely equipped)
Field elev: 1000'
Temp: 25C
MATOW: 39950=13000lb useful load
You're landing in TEB with 4 pax, bags, well rested, with 3000lbs in the tanks.

You also have the ability to go to Aspen anytime, and cross any ocean at will. Get the forward crew lav option. It comes in handy when you have full seats and late at night.

Thanks. I'll pass this on. Keep fingers crossed: I might parlay this into employment in a year or so.
