Operational context
The Seattle – Chicago sector links Boeing Field King County (KBFI) to Chicago Executive (KPWK) over 2,755 km great-circle, about 3h30 airborne in a Falcon 2000LXS. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Chicago Executive (1554 m runway). At this range a Falcon 2000LXS avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
