Anybody have access to APG or another tool to check what restrictions a Latitude would have at places like LFTZ and LSGK?

I have in the past asked APG directly for evaluations I made of several aircraft and they always helped me out. Give it a try. Otherwise ask Cessna - they have their own demonstrator flight department and I guess they would use APG as well...

I now have the AFM and APG landing/takeoff data, thanks.

A few more questions
What is a realistic empty weight?
Fuelburn first hour/second hour
and minimum final reserve fuel (50nm alternate)

I evaluated the Latitude about a year ago and Cessna gave me an average BEW of 18180 lbs based on actual aircraft - for our ops that would make 18690 incl. 2 pilots @200lbs each plus 80 lbs Galley and 30lbs maps & books.

I used another approach so I canŽt tell you first / second hour burns, but the min diversion for a 50nm alternate should not be far from what IŽd use in our Sovereign - IŽd go for 1521lbs - we however use a min diversion fuel of 600lbs, plus 921lbs HOLD (45 min) - the 600lbs is almost twice what the calculation says (309lbs EDFM-EDSB which is 45 nm OVHD-OVHD and 53nm via SID,Airway and STAR.

Those PW306ses use quite a lot when you ask em to push.... thus I feel our calc is somewhat more accurate.

Thanks, so my guess of 20500lbs landing weight without pax is realistic

I went trough my emails again and the lowest weight A/C was at 18090lbs BEW and the "fattest" weighed in at 18315 - I got the numbers of 20 A/C.

BOW of 18,700 for our 9 seat config. My fuel swag is 2000, 1800, 1650, 1650, 1550, 1450. I typically plan for no less than 2000 lbs. of fuel at landing. Fuel Level Low CAS msgs start illuminating around 1100 lbs. (540 +/- 60 each side).
