Cruise Speeds
I fly the G650.
The MMO is .925. Normal cruise is .90 with long range cruise between .85 and .87.
For flights under 5000nm we will normally plan .89 as this seems to be far more fuel efficient than pushing up the power to .90.
For legs over 5000nm we will normally plan at .85 or .87 mach. Speeds below .85 do not benefit much due to the drag curve.
