Re: Best Single Pilot IFR Plane

Not even close to the best.  I have a friend with part of one (Netjets
share) .  With the two pilots and two average size passengers and a Labrador
it can't go from San Diego to Sun Valley without refueling in a modest
headwind if its warm.  The problem is that at FL350 it will only go about
350kts and even a modest headwind at that altitude is well over 100kts.   I
forget which engines the CJ1 uses but the engines in the CitationJet cycled
out pretty fast so if you weren't flying long legs the engines would cycle
out well before overhaul.  Piaggio and Premier are much better.
