Online long flight group event
EHM-1001 Robert:
Well, I will fly a 747, and if we do not want to make some formation flight ;) there can be huge differences between arrival times, according to the plane type. I myself will do about an hour brake. It will be enough for unboarding and refill the plane.
See ya on the flyin.

A good point, and well made. I'm guessing it'll be a toss-up between the 744 and the 763 as to which will be the "slower" across this sort of distance. I'll do a check on the 744 FMC as well for comparison with the 772.
Anyhow, regarding the 45 minutes value, I got that out of a Boeing Airport Planning document for the 777-200LR :)
EDIT: Just checked the fleet pages so I know for sure; at a range cruise of 0.80M, the 763 is the slowest, then the 744 and the 772 at 0.85M (that's correct for the 772 on the PM FMC for a cost index of 75, BTW) However, I can always use 0.80M on the 772 FMC to get the ETE for that speed ;D)

Hi folks,
I thought I will made some research on the route planning. I realized there are not any routes from Atlanta to Gran Canaria...you have to make some direct jumps on the beginning. I made a flightplan with FSNAV, through Bermuda island. The trip became 3800 nm with SID and STAR. This distance takes 07:50 at M0.85 and 08:20 at M0.80 So, if we define a common flightplan we can arrive within about half hour distance. This means about 18:00 GMT arrival time to Gran Canaria, and probably 18:30...19:00 GMT departure time for the second leg.
;)
