How to maximize the Challenger 350’s range

[Skismd]

How can I maximize the challenger 350 range in order for me to do a 9-10 hour flight?

This feels like a good question for @AndrewWu .

He’s included the CL35 on his fuel burn guide, so have a look at that.

[737 MAX 8 UPDATE] Your Ultimate Guide to Infinite Flight Fuel Burn + Fuel Calculator

[image] Your Ultimate Guide to Infinite Flight Fuel Burn Sometime in early 2021, I decided to start my most ambitious Infinite Flight related project to date. I was going to find a fuel burn profile for every airliner in the game, so that people could minimize the fuel they used as well as not accidentally pack too little and have to divert. August came and went, and my subscription expired and I chose not to renew it. I didn’t finish the project. Over this summer, I decided to come back…

I would ask this person "Bombardier 7500" Flight Tracking Thread

[AndrewWu]

Not really actually, I would recommending doing what LuckyRC is suggesting as that person has some tactic which seems to pull 8-9 hours instead of the 7-8 that you get normally. I don’t know if they’d share that but I haven’t had a sub in a long time so I haven’t been testing.

There’s 2 different categories of long range CL35 flights. One is convenience and one is determination.

Convenience:
Use the links below and you’ll get a flight time of just under 8h30m.

"Bombardier 7500" Flight Tracking Thread

On ground: Load full fuel, no pax, no cargo Taxi with 1 engine Take off Full thrust take-off Rotate between 140kts and 150kts (This will allow for a quicker climb) Climb at 4200fpm until FL250 Speed should remain at 250kts under FL100 Above FL100, immediately speed up to 310kts At FL250, climb at a rate of 3600fpm Once at FL280, fly just under 0.83M (In game, the range will expand the faster you go) At FL360, climb at a rate of 2800fpm At FL380, climb at a rate of 2200fpm At FL410, climb …

"Bombardier 7500" Flight Tracking Thread

Cruise: Remain at FL450 until your fuel count is lower than 40% At 40% fuel rate, climb at a rate of 1600fpm, until FL470 Descent: Wait until your descent path is greater than -2600VS Don’t use flight spoilers, kill one of your engines for the whole descent, and turn it back on at 2,500ft AGL

Confidence is still a factor, when you land, you’re going to have at most 30lbs of fuel left.

Determination:
If you’re determined enough and have the time to do it, you can reach flights that last as long as 10 hours. (Sounds weird, but you need fast fingers)

• When trying to replicate Bombardier Global 7500 flights, in order to get better mileage I found a hack. After you loose fuel (around 8h15m without descending), start smashing the “auto start” button as fast as you can keep your speed going at a constant rate if you’re able to maintain a steady finger smashing pace.
• Caveat, it means you can’t level out your altitude because there’s a limit to how much the auto start smashing can save you from stalling.
• This will glide you down with an extra boost from your engines. Make sure your throttle is at 100%. If done right, and you have enough determination to successfully land, the maximum you can achieve is 10h11m. (Also the winds in the pacific give your 5000nm+ range)

Here’s a link to my past records

Bombardier Challenger 350 Live Range Testing

Even though I’ve been eviscerated to grade 2, after incorrectly aligning to the proper heading while approaching an airport and getting a level 3 violation for it, I still want to continue testing the Bombardier Challenger 350’s range. Currently I’ve maxed it out at a little over 5,000nm, however today, I’m at Tokyo Heneda to hopefully reach a 5,135nm flight with the tiny aircraft. This topic will be my unprofessional data sheet, announcing flights I’m doing live. I’m about 5 minutes from take-o…

[AndrewWu]

Of all the Easter Eggs in this game this has got to be the most insane one I’ve heard of, props for finding it.

[anon38552190]

Works with the ERJ-175 too. Not so much the 737-8MAX

[AndrewWu]

That’s alright, the max already has a glitch where you can get it down to 1 kg/hour

[anon38552190]

Now you’re making me curious. However, I rarely fly anything other than the CL35 anyways🤷

[AndrewWu]

Just A "NORMAL" flight

Yep, everything seems perfectly fine here. I won’t be landing anytime soon lol. [Screenshot_20241218_103149] Edit: You may have heard the Max can travel in IF for 15 hrs, but what if I told you it could go way beyond that? I encourage everyone to experiment with this on the 737 MAX. Go to cruising altitude, extend to flaps 40 (should lower power and fuel flow if done right), and keep climbing as much as your throttle will allow without stalling and losing airspeed. Make sure your fuel flow is…
