Wingspan, range and cruise speed are manufacturer-published. Runway requirement is the published sea-level balanced field length at maximum takeoff weight, increased by 9 % per 1,000 ft of field elevation as a planning approximation — not a substitute for the operator's performance data on the day. Prices are indicative broker estimates including crew, landing, handling and the 7.5 % federal excise tax; they are not offers.

Have an operator price it
The figures above are what the engine can work out from published data. What it cannot know is which aircraft is sitting at Truckee on your date, and that is usually what decides both the aircraft and the number. A broker asks contracted operators and comes back with a written quote naming the carrier and the tail.
