How Long Does It Take To Fly Your Own Plane From Florida to New York? We Did It In Our Cirrus SR22

Managing your fluid intake is an important part of pre-flight preparation. Drinking a pint of coffee before a five hour flight is about as daft as it gets. Coffee is a diuretic (A diuretic is any substance that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine) The atmosphere tends to get drier with altitude so you should take in small quantities of water constantly during sustained flights to avoid dehydration. A guide to your level of hydration is the color of your urine. The darker it is the more dehydrated you are. Ensuring the physical health of pilot and passengers is just as important as all pre-flight checks.

How much quicker would it have been in a Cirrus Vision Jet?

Great question! I would’ve estimate it to be around 40 min for the following reasons: 1. Vision Jet will need to make a fuel stop. 2. Vision Jet will ended up flying a STAR Arrival which takes longer to land. 3. Vision Jet isn’t the fastest so along the way, ATC will likely move you out of the way for faster jets and increase the trip distance and time. Again this is just my educated guess.
