Otherwise, your range numbers are perfect. Rob Greg:

I thought with full fuel and one pilot the range would be much shorter. Published range with "typical cruise weight" @ 55% power is 1250 nm. First leg of 2100 nm – wow.

Could Cessna really have come out with a new and innovative single engine airplane on their own? Nice looking airplane, great stats, fiberglass construction, sidestick controllers, even speedbrakes*! But alas, I was disappointed to find it was someone else’s thinking that this airplane is to be attributed to (Columbia). Darn. Looking farther into the Cessna website, I find that the G1000 is an impressive instrument package that reads like the latest thing (yet) to fly out of Boeing; however, Boeing doesn’t offer XM radio for flight crew listening - I guess there’s always room for improvement! *Though the only clue of speedbrakes is a picture on Cessna’s site of the 350 (http://se.cessna.com/cessna350/) It’s not even listed in the list of specs and features. I suppose the marketing guys who wrote the sales literature, don’t even know what those funny things are. (Rob, please use this spelling and punctuation corrected version, thanks)
