CE-525 Perf Question

[TWOTBAGS]

Hello all,

I have an owner that is looking at using an early CE-525 out of a 3000ft paved strip with an elevation of 900ft at ISA+15. Can it be done???

As we don't have one of these its a bit difficult to get real world data, I asked a local tech rep but got nothing but shrugged shoulders and a dumb look because these guys are all ex Beechcraft since the merge.

So collective PPRUNE crew..... can it be done and what kind of mtow???

Thanks in advance.

I have asked APG in the past for a one off T/O / LDG distance sheet in the past and they were always helpful. Worth a try: APG: Aircraft Performance Group

3000 ‘ wont cut it. At 4000’ it would be possible, but barely....

Not possible 3000'

Well you could try not taking max fuel..

[GlenQuagmire]

Just to qualify that. I have been in and out of Bembridge, fair oaks, Shoreham, and a few other airfields which are a performance challenge with no issues at all.

Good lord! take less than full fuel?? what on earth is the world coming to, suggesting such blasphemy!

Hi all, thanks for the response's.

Just to qualify the question FO above has it right don't take max fuel..... I just need to know what weight can get out of a 3000ft strip.

Plane, pilot, boss & significant other is all that needs to get in/out...

What is a realistic weight for a 3000ft strip?

The answer is 9,800 lbs in Private Ops, nil factoring
