They may be able to cruise at Mach .84, but that is only 600m/hr and would burn considerably more fuel decreasing the range.

Oops, just realised you wrote 400km/hr, im talking 400 miles an hour. so im right on the money, give or take.

Not to mention you just averaged it, They circle the runway to pick up the VOR transmissions as well as getting up to top speed isnt done instantly. A minor head wind can add up to 30 mins on a 3 hr flight.
