The numbers, with their conditions attached.
A manufacturer's headline range assumes a lightly loaded aircraft at long-range cruise. Publishing that figure beside a seat count is how buyers get misled, so we publish both and plan against the realistic one.

About that range figure
Long-range cruise at Mach 0.80 with eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves.
For planning a real trip with the cabin filled, we use 4,100 nm. That is the number the configurator on this site checks against before it recommends this aircraft for your route.
Worth knowing
- This aircraft shares the GIV-series wing and is certified to 45,000 ft, not the 51,000 ft of the G550. It is a real operational difference, not a rounding error.
