Reading the 500nm thread I think less than 5% of my flights have been over 4 hours non stop -my longest being a Girona-Zagreb VFR non stop over ten years ago.
My logbook says that 77 of 2920 flights have been more than 4hrs. All 77 of those occurred in the past 4 years/682 flights.
Zero – my bladder does not have the endurance
1.
Kulusuk Greenland to Vagar, Faroe Islands. 4.5 in PA46.
Now if you include turbine……
0. I’ve done two flights at 3.9.
What would turbine allow, isn’t their time endurance usually lower?

Depends on hom much fuel they have. Longest time in the air in the Meridian was 3.8 from Vero Beach to Minden Louisiana.
Now the CJ3….
Last flight, 4,5h. From San Sebastian to Sevilla, with 40kts headwind.
0. Without a fuel totaliser, I’m not happy to fly the aircraft beyond 3:30 without refueling.
16 out of 298 flights (not counting the one when I instruct)
Same here. Although the 172 endurance should be over 5 h I never plan anything over 3:30.
