Operational context
Chartering privately between Van Nuys (KVNY) and Santiago Arturo Merino Benítez (SCEL) removes connections entirely: 9,014 km non-stop in 10h16. The flight plan is filed once takeoff performance at Van Nuys (2469 m) and alternate fuel are validated. At this range a Gulfstream G650ER avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
