Questions
Vision Jet performance
How fast is the Cirrus Vision Jet?
Maximum cruise is 311 KTAS. Halcyon plans at 305 KTAS, which after taxi, climb, and descent works out to roughly 250 to 280 knots of average block speed depending on leg length — shorter legs give up proportionally more to the climb and descent.
What is the Vision Jet's range?
Book maximum range is 1,275 nm. Halcyon plans to 1,000 nm with full IFR reserves and honest winds, because a planning figure that assumes ideal conditions is not a planning figure. Legs beyond that are flown with a fuel stop, disclosed before you book.
How short a runway can a Vision Jet use?
Balanced field length is 3,192 feet and landing distance is 2,346 feet at maximum weight in standard conditions. In practice Halcyon dispatches to fields of 3,000 feet and above, with additional margin required at high elevation or high temperature.
How many people can a Vision Jet carry?
The airframe is configurable for up to seven occupants. In Halcyon charter service the aircraft carries up to five adult passengers plus a professional pilot. Actual capacity on a given leg is set by the weight and fuel plan, which we confirm in writing when quoting.
Is the Vision Jet pressurised?
Yes, with a service ceiling of 31,000 feet. Typical cruise is FL280, which is above the weather and turbulence that make lower-altitude flying uncomfortable, and considerably higher than most piston aircraft can reach.
