I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years, but I guess a shitty spin can be put upon anything ...

Apparently, the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia operates a fleet of them.

I haven't tried 2024 but the physics in 2020 feel like an arcade game. Things more feel like they're on rails

With this behaviour at service ceiling, I wonder why she can't be certified higher. Would probably be fun to go "VFR on top"... ;-)

At F450, you could 45 degree banked turns all day long in a Global Express.

@@GLEX234 Isn't the GLEX rated for FL510? Also, it's "slightly" more expensive than the PC-24... ;-)

@ It is, doesn’t change the fact that all modern jets have much wider range of speeds at high altitudes, so it’s unique anymore. Pilatus builds marvelous planes, I don’t quite see the off-prepared surface capability-lots of damage risks for little gain. Next we’ll be seeing accidents like on the owner-flown PC-12s-poor risk assessments and decision making. A wet grass runway is difficult to make performance planning, especially engine failure cases.

​@@GLEX234 Also I have never seen a Lear/"Micro" jet with out a A-10 thunderbolt 2 engine placement which the A-10 has it's odd engine placement because of a few reasons related to it's combat role. But in this case why it matters is having engines above the wings means you don't have much of risk of engine ingrease from the runway... Meaning if you have a run way long enough their is no reason why you need to only land on pavement. Unless the ground was extremely soft and or rough then you would sink, bust a tire or even damange your gear... So you should be able to take a lear any of them and land off pavement as well as a sports car can drive and park on grass or dirt. Which in this video I seen no signs of big bush tires or even stronger naval acvation type gear... So the off pavement abilities is likely mostly marketing and if it has any backing it's this plane has better short field proformance then most lears on sell today... Which makes it odd that they just don't market it with that instead of off pavement which any Lear should be able to do which out any noticed difference then landing on pavement. Which I have seen mirco/small private jets that have engines under the wings but they all are combat jets or one of projects... Which mid and big jets land off pavement all the time even with their under wing engines as they are so big the engines are high off the ground enough to have the same effect. Not to mention big enough to not care about engine ingrease you get from off pavement landings/take off and they always have at least two if not 3 or 4 so having issues from engine ingrease is not a concern unless something horrible goes wrong.

Thank you - that video is coming out soon and I'll add it there!
