Hi!

I am interested of businessjets in general and I am would like ti know C56X cilmbing profile with 2 pax calm day for 1000nm tripfuel. I do not know much of flying so I do not have any specs fot this aircraft. Numbers I like to know are speeds kts and ft/min at different fl:s. I know all depends of all but just to get some idea, thanks to all.

With that mileage and two passenger you can expect about 5000 lbs off block fuel including 1500 of reserves, and a take off mass of about 18000 lbs.
Climb profile is 250 knots/0.65M. In ISA conditions to climb FL410 expect about 15/20 minutes and 600/700 lbs of fuel burn. You can work out the average fpm, up to FL150 you should be able to make about 3000 fpm, and 1000 or less the very last part of the climb.

This may help with basic profiles. Note the figures are pessimistic for my present type.

According to that website the Sovereign climbs to FL650 at 3500 fpm. That's some kickass performance! :}:}
