hello
hello Kyle
there are various types of CL850 on the market:
CL850 / green conversion by Lufthansa (until 2008) and Midcoast, deliverd with PATS tanks, fuel capacity 8200kgs,
CL850: conversion of used CRJ 200 or 100, incl PATS tanks
CL850: conversion of used CRJ, no PATS tanks
many customers like the 850 due to the very big cabin and large cargo capacity, also there are many drivers around with the applicable rating. many maint. facilities plus cheap simulators (compared to other biz-jets) also available.
unfortunately bombardier wrote 3000nm on the price tag, not stating thats only a ferry range for most aircrafts, due to the heavy cabin (e.g. 2 pilots one fa plus 1 pax plus full fuel possible....) 2600 seems to be max range incl 6 pax for me.
its a great ship for flights within europe, up to 5 hours..
from a pilotīs side I like it very much, although i would appreciate some more horses come out of the cf34īs - compared to other biz-jets the performance is somehow poor - one the other side thats just numbers, and i am happy to fly at level 360 instead of 450...
if you have some more qīs, feel free to ask or pm.
fly safe
welle
