falconer,
understand that over in Wichita they are dressing up a new version of your old hangar queen…
Whilst the plus is just an update - I´d love to have have it just to get rid of the Honeywell EPIC in our current slowtation. -> the EASY seems to be better, or so they say at least...
From a first glance at the preliminary data I got from Cessna, we would not really benefit from the new Sov, since it grew in weight...and buying an aeroplane just because we dislike the avionics might be a bit out of proportion. OTOH the boss liked the airplane on the demo flight we had very much.
I already tried to make a case for the 2000S, yet 'they' don´t bite...
Falcon/Dassault seems to be a bit late with the numbers, especially SF1+slats is apparently not published yet. It might be possible that we could get a better weight/TODR ratio out of that, important because of our homebase being short and requiring good gradients in second segment.
Before I´ll get back to the boss, I need to have everything calculated...
BTW, first trip next year will involve at least 2 fuel stops and would be without these in the 2000LXS.
