700 nautical miles from Chicago Executive to Dallas Love Field. No cabin we fly needs a fuel stop here. That makes it a seats and schedule decision rather than a performance one.
What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 700 nautical miles a light jet and a midsize both block 1h 55m. The midsize is bought here for cabin height and bag space, not for speed. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band, so this column is a number dispatch can hold to rather than a brochure maximum.
