Falcon 900LX long range flight
Good day,
The owner of the Falcon 900LX I recently started to fly asked me yesterday if it was possible to fly between two specific airports, about 4200NM apart, without a tech stop. I just started to fly the Falcon 900 a few months ago and still have used its range yet as I have little experience.
I would like to know, from experience, what is a good climb and speed schedule for such a flight, knowing we will have probably about 6 passengers, max fuel, take off date is late August, and the flight will happen in areas of ISA+10 on average, flying westbound.
Would a start at FL360 and M0.78 be realistic, with further climbs as soon a possible later on, or would FL380 be better?. It would just give me an idea where to start for planning purposes (I can use historical average winds for late August along my route).
Thank you.
