The posted fuelfigures are correct, + for inflight planning,the performance-charts of bombardier are pretty accurate.In practice, the northatlantic-nonstop- route is only working oneway on the 60.Taking into account the strong winds+ high temperatures,LRC doesnīt make to much sence, +fuelflow would be ~80lbs higher.Destinations and alternates in the Newfoundland-area are limiting often due weather and distance.You donīt want to go there on minimumfuel.Take a quick stop at KEF and go highspeed.For the return St Johnīs or Gander-Luxemburg is a direct flight under average conditions. Hope it helps,Geetz T
