We can run 2 pilots out to 10 flight hours and 14 duty hours. We can run 10 to 12 flight hours with 3 pilots and up to 18 hours of duty. We can run up to 16 hours of flight time with 4 pilots and go to 20 hours of duty. The 6000s will rarely be scheduled over 13 hours and the 7500 is currently limited to 16, even though with the software upgrading to a Global 8000, it will be able to run closer to 18. Augmented never has more than 1 SIC and it isn't uncommon to have all PICs. I've done 16 flight hours in a 6000 with a fuel stop and 3/4 PICs. I was asleep for about 6 of those hours and at rest in the bunks for 8 total. It gets tight when swapping in and out, but it goes fast when you are sleeping.
So how’s it going to work with an airplane that can go 18, but a crew that can only do 16?
