I am really disappointed that this type of flying wasn’t addressed in the global scope TA.
The XLR is having serious issues w certification in Europe due safety concerns w the extra fuel tanks. AB just got sent back to do a redesign that will likely be challenging to get the advertised range w a “safer” tank configuration. So TBD on these ultra long range NBs.
