piperpilot99 Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Is there any documentation for this? If I try and go transatlantic with the CL60 Simbrief profile, it tells me I don't have the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastuasi Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 4000 nm is possible when slowing it down to the LRC values. Put in M.72 into simbrief and it'll get you into the safe profile to say you have the range. It defaults to M.80 and that will not be possible. Also know that you will have to manually slow down and climb as you get lighter. I have never done it, but there are discussions galore on the subject in discord and I've seen a thread here before as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should consider: Carrying less payload Slowing down Making a fuel stop in Shannon (EINN) westbound or St. John's/Gander (CYYT/CYQX) eastbound.

JJM Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 How many PAX on board? With tanks full I believe the limit is two passengers (plus two crew) That would put you at MTOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYG001 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) The plane is sold with a 4000NM range but can't make that. We count on 3600 tops. That is a very close call to go west on the NAT, especially with an early descend into Boshwash. Also on paper the aircraft takes 20 000 lbs, we see in real life this is typically max 19 000 lbs.

Then you're not doing the proper adjustments up the FLs, for long cruises you'll do step climb and slow down as you lighten up to a M.72 cruise speed. Doing so, you'll see 4000 nm easily in this CL60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYG001 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Indeed, our flight Planning software (PPS) to my knowledge only allows for a fixed speed schedule, not a variable one. Edited March 17, 2022 by FYG001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
