Yes, I think so but it could be tight! Hopefully your aircraft will have the Stab Tank fitted



Long-Range Cruise is M0.85, so about 500kts in ISA



Assuming 490kts avg ground speed, about 17hrs30mins



9,000 hrs/14 yrs on type



M0.90/520kts

Quick answers so my best guesstimates. Sounds like a fun project. I have manuals and planning info available. If you would like more detailed information, PM me.
eckhard,
Thank you very much for the info. That confirms it is possible so now to find a charter company/airline who may want to lend me their aeroplane!

Cheers
CB
