Looking at the used turbine market, both turboprop and jet(including Hawkers, Falcons, Gulfstreams, 737 bizjet, etc) shows that the average ranges from 1.1 to 1.5 flight hours/takeoff-landing. In reality, we don't even come close to those long flights which we dream about. While some do make long commuting business flights, from my experience and listening to other pilots most of us probably do average around 1 to 2 hours of flight time per flight plan. Other considerations will therefore dictate the choice of engines/fuel. Marshall Michaelian (SQL, 85%LIV-P, Eagle 540V8)
