the old mans jet

I was lucky enough to fly the cargo version Falcon 20, mostly all ex-FedEx aircraft, hauling cargo all over Europe, USA, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean. Here are some of my notes:

Max T/off & Ldgs 10000feet
Max Runway Slope +/- 2 degrees
Max Tailwind 10 kts
Crosswind 25 kts
Max Ceiling 42000 feet

Max T/O 28660 lbs
Taxi 28660 lbs
Ldg Wt 27320 lbs
ZFW 22000 lbs

Vmo/Mmo 350Kias M .85
Fuel capacity 2x470 (feeders)& 2x2089 (mains)
Total Fuel 5006 lbs

and many many more details if anyone interested


I dont know of any re-engined freighters. The company I flew for
were considering Garrets back in 1994 but were too costly compared to sticking with the CF 700 2Dīs. I never was able to get up to FL 420, honestly never tried past 390 as the engines were fairly clapped out. The Coast Guard flew the retro-fits, anyone remember the picture? Any ex or current Falcon pilots out there ?
