With a full cabin

They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Departing Dallas
Flying out of Dallas
Addison sits in the middle of North Dallas business and residential density, which makes it a materially better answer than Love Field for most trips into the metroplex.
- Central to North Dallas, Plano and the corporate corridor
- Dedicated general aviation field with strong FBO depth
- A comfortable mid-size leg from either coast with one stop
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.

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.
