To clarify, I didn't say I ran out of fuel, I ran out of runway. I fly pretty much empty, just 2 or 3 pax. It's a private bird. I was also topped off (max fuel) for my TNCM to GVAC flight. I have been going by roughly 15 or 16,000 pph fuel burn to get to .84 Mach. .86 takes basically takeoff power to achieve, which I have to assume drags down fuel economy. I also know that L-1011s, MD-11s, and 747s fly into TNCM, so the runway is definitely long enough. |
