Wilson,

wondering if you had a fuel burn and TAS with altitude that you use for long range cruise. Asumining max takeoff weight would be useful.

The background is wondering if we could get it across the pacific with some additional tankage. 

thanks

Dromader driver are you in Australia?

When I bought my 685 I looked at the Pacific route but decided against it.

It is possible once you get the mainland Hawaii leg over.

I seem to remember a couple of 680FLPs being ferried that way to US SAmoa.

I do have the pages for long range cruise somewhere. If you send me a private message I'll dig them out.

Coby, I'm pretty interested in that 685- I'm not where I need to be yet with regards to my flying to jump into it, but I'm working on that. I'll keep the ad bookmarked and when I hit my ME rating hopefully end of this year, beginning of next, I will be in touch.
