| | I was talking recently with someone who said that their company
| needs
| | to send a few (5-6) people to do some work in Angola from Atlanta
| and
| | complained about the difficulty of flying there commercially. This
| | made me curious about what it would take to do this in a private
| jet.
| | I asked my CFII this question (he is type rated for the Citation I)
| | and his answer was "Not in this Citation; it doesn't have the
| range."
| | He did say that a friend delivered a Citation I to South Africa
| solo
| | but it took him three days to get there. He's never personally
| flown
| | to Africa so while he said he'd look into it I thought I'd ask here
| as
| | someone might actually know.
| |
| | I am going to assume that there is some sweet spot on the range-
| speed-
| | time-cost considerations based upon whatever the longest leg would
| | have to be for various routes and the cost/time involved with
| stopping
| | to refuel but I don't know much about this kind of aircraft,
| certainly
| | not enough to plan a trip.
| |
| | I've never thought much about international flight so I am very
| | curious to see the suggestions for a flight like this.
| |
| |
| | not sure what you're asking here.
| |
| | What kind of bizjet can do it?
| | Most could do it with a stop or tow and some could do it direct...

| You're not sure of a lot of things.
|
|
|
|
|
| That's right.
|
| What I am sure of I am very sure of.
|
| You being a fjukktard, for instance.
