Eurobusiness Special Missions
« on: May 19, 2005, 04:56:57 pm »
I am currently part way through flying the Eurobusiness Special Missions, I am embarking on Mission 3.3, however I am having a problem getting from GLRB, according to the flight plan I should fly  GLRB to Z05N, I have tried 5 different flight planners and none of them can locate Z05N. The straight line distance from GLRB to SBBV is 3000nm so quite clearly a stop is required, the closest land mass to GLRB is SBFN which is approx 1600nm, which is beyond the range of the Cessna Citation (1250NM). Has anyone flown this Mission before, if so can you help me out?.

This is very interesting in fact. In my opinion there must be something wrong because before this missions wrote down to the site, it must be flown first. ;) It is very strange but I am not able to try it because I am away from my computer... :(

Hope we can find a quick solution for this. ;)

Take care.

I have just flown the leg M037 in the Cessna Citation, it should be from GLRB to Z05N, however as Z05N does not appear to exist , I flew to Z04X in Brazil. The statistics for the flight were as follows: Fuel at start 3256 lbs, Fuel on landing 891 lbs, distance flown 2053nm, the engines were burning 250lbs/hour each at FL360. These figures don't seem to be correct for a Cessna Citation, as it is supposed to have a range of 1250nm, as you can see from the above figures I have flown 2053nm with still enough fuel for another 1 hour flying time.

I reproduced the waypoints on a world map... between GLRB in Liberia and SBBV in Brazil there are not many places to land (excepting east of Brazil maybe near Recife ?)
Otherwise a carrier in the miffle of Atlantic ;D

There must be a mistake.
