The Legacy 500 on the route
A 3,125-nautical-mile range makes the 950-mile leg a short hop, and a Mach 0.83 cruise puts the flight at about two and a quarter hours. Fly-by-wire controls and a low cabin altitude help keep the ride settled and the air fresh.
Cabin and luggage
A 26-foot-10 cabin — one of the longest in the class — offers a six-foot flat floor, six-foot-ten width, and a large 155-cubic-foot hold. Room for a full group and its luggage.
Why travelers choose it
- A long, six-foot flat-floor cabin for up to twelve
- Fly-by-wire controls and a low cabin altitude
- Range well beyond the 950-mile trip
- Nonstop New York to Miami in about 2.25 hours
