Legacy 600 range question
Hi guys any experienced pilot in the legacy 600?
My plan is the make a stretched leg from FOR (fortaleza Brazil) to RAK (Marrakech) do you know if this plane can make it? Also the other way departing from Marrakech? From what Ive searched it's 2700 nm journey.
Please share you experience

I’d say English not being his first language they are looking at he 600 to see if it will fit the mission.
I don’t know the 600 well but I would be cautious purchasing an aircraft that will only just fulfill your requirements, always better maybe slightly going up a step.
No doubt it depends on budget. However as stated before it is a buyers market out there, incredible deals on aircraft like the Challenger 605, operationally similar costs.
Legacy advantage yes that cabin is just awesome!
Get yourself a good broker/dealer etc and you will be amazed what’s out there.

Is the destination a single runway? If so you need to consider an alternate aerodrome in case the runway is blocked. This is called "contingency" fuel.
Get yourself a pro, stay off forums. You're welcome.

He said Contingency it is not like he mentioned 5% or 3%.
This shows really the level of knowledge banging around...And we are far from the escape route, or decompression strategies across the ocean....
Go figure..

I´m with INN on this one.

Thats the definition I have seen in any ops I was flying.

I was of course giving credits to INNflight... He is 200% right..
He has the proper definition, my reply was meant to be sarcastic... The person asking is on every single site or snap in order to get the range of the Legacy... This is annoying to say the least
