The Gulfstream G500's ~5,200 nm range comfortably covers the ~3,837 nm Miami–London route, so it makes the trip nonstop — with reserve for winds and an alternate — in both directions, year-round. Plan roughly 8h 50m of block time.
Range vs. Distance
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Miami → London (great circle) | ~3,837 nm |
| Gulfstream G500 range | ~5,200 nm |
| Margin | 1,363 nm to spare |
| Aircraft class | heavy jet |
Book range (NBAA IFR) already includes fuel reserves, but westbound headwinds effectively add distance — which is why a route near the edge of an aircraft's range is treated as conditional rather than a guaranteed nonstop. The operating crew calculates final fuel for the specific date, winds, and payload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Gulfstream G500's ~5,200 nm range comfortably covers the ~3,837 nm Miami–London route, so it makes the trip nonstop — with reserve for winds and an alternate — in both directions, year-round. Plan roughly 8h 50m of block time.
The great-circle distance is about 3,837 nautical miles. Real flight plans run a little longer because of routing and winds, and westbound legs effectively add distance against the prevailing flow.
About 5,200 nautical miles (NBAA IFR). That is enough for long intercontinental routes nonstop.
Roughly 8h 50m of block time, varying with winds and routing. Westbound legs against the prevailing winds run longer than eastbound.
