N124CD landed at approx. 1330Z today after a direct flight from St. Johns Newfoundland.
His flight time was 12hrs 30min.
He decided not to land in Guersey becuase the weather was poor and he had sufficient fuel to go direct. He said the flight not too tiring because the autopilot (stec55) was excellent.
To Clyde, sorry I dont the Reg of the other planes.

You have been a model of forbearance and patience to us all. Now I hope you get your hands on that plane, and tell us what it’s like! Congrats, Jim Fallows

Robin,
I am going to be in Amsterdam and Rotterdam on business next week ( week of 14th ). Will the plane still be in the neighborhood? I would love to see the new addition to your family if it is possible to schedule.
Also, I would be happy to bring anything you might need from the states.

Congratulations Robin, terrific news! We’re all eager to hear about your upcoming experiences (but not to the extent that it compromises your flying time!). Be sure to send photos to Clyde.

I believe the ferry tank was 60US Gal.
He said he had about 2hrs reserve on landing.
Therefore total endurance 14.5hrs. Total fuel 115gal usable giving a fuel burn of 8-8.5 GPH.
Sounds about right I know he was at 13000ft at one stage.
