Any jet jockeys out there?
How realistic are the range figures for business jets? For an Embraer Phenom 100, the required reserves to shoot an approach, divert and shoot another approach are about 1000 lbs. Given a 2800 lb capacity, this means 1800 lbs for going places. Figure 500lbs and 30 minutes to get to FL 370, it would give two hours of cruise at LRC = 660 miles. So realistic max range = about 850 miles versus advertised 1150.
Am I missing anything?
