Estimates are computed from great-circle distance, published cruise speeds, and modeled allowances for routing, climb, descent and prevailing winds — the same engine the configurator uses. They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Departing Boston
Flying out of Boston
Hanscom is where Boston private aviation actually happens — west of the city, close to the technology corridor along 128, and far easier than Logan for almost every purpose.
- Close to the Route 128 technology and life sciences corridor
- Avoids Logan and the harbour tunnels entirely
- Strong FBO services and reliable winter operations
Arriving Sun Valley
Friedman Memorial Airport
Friedman Memorial serves Sun Valley and Ketchum, and it is one of the more demanding fields in the mountain west — a single approach in a valley, with weather that closes it more often than visitors expect.
- The alternative is Boise or Twin Falls and a two-to-three hour drive
- Single-approach valley field — weather diversions are a genuine risk
- Crew experience at this specific field matters, and we verify it
Worth knowing before you plan
SUN has terrain-driven approach limitations and diverts to Twin Falls with some regularity in winter. Anyone quoting this field without mentioning that is not being straight with you.

Change the party size or the date
The configurator checks routed distance against realistic full-cabin range, so it will never recommend an aircraft that cannot actually make the trip with everyone aboard.
