What is the maximum fuel imbalance allowed in flight?

The maximum fuel imbalance allowed in flight for the Falcon 2000LXS is 2,200 lbs. This specification ensures that the aircraft maintains optimal aerodynamic performance and stability during flight. A fuel imbalance beyond this limit could affect the aircraft's center of gravity (CG) and subsequently alter its handling characteristics.

Maintaining the correct balance is crucial for flight safety, as an improper CG can lead to handling issues that could compromise the safety of the aircraft and its passengers. The 2,200 lbs limit provides a margin that acknowledges potential fuel consumption patterns during flight, allowing sufficient discrepancy without compromising safety or performance.

In contrast, other listed options either fall below or exceed this limit, which would not be suitable for operational safety guidelines established for the aircraft's performance.
