Gander to Paris?
Give a Hawker a better test than that. Fuel more expensive in Gander than Paris so nice thing is that you would not need full tanks ex Gander.
Just run it on our Jep Jet Plan for March historical winds:
Great Circle: 2200 nm
Track Miles 2221 nm
Flight time: 5 h 04 minutes
Speed Mach .74
Payload: 4 pax + hostie
Fuel required ex Gander 8840 lbs (Max 10,000) Full JAR ops reserves.
That is for a bog standard 800B no reverse no winglets. Average fuel burn 1481 lbs/hr. Pretty good for an old banger!
The 800B is good for 2500 nm still air as long as alternate is reasonable close. We do that on a regular basis, further if the conditions are right
