What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 2,051 nautical miles range comes before cabin preference. The quickest cabin that holds it without stopping is a heavy jet at 4h 30m. A light jet can still fly it with one fuel stop, and a stop is roughly forty minutes on the ground on top of the 5h 00m in the table. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band rather than a brochure maximum.
