Isn't that what I said??
As for some of the other comments attributed to FlightSafety, big it is not, it is very marginally faster than a Mustang around the circuit, just a couple of knots, a little faster at high levels, and last time I noticed, owners of aircraft doing the factory supplied course don't get "sent home". It is certainly no more technically difficult than the Mustang, as in NOT.
There are facilities and systems to handle pilots who are not full time professional pilots with existing jet/turboprop experience, and need more than the minimum time, either in the sim. or in the aircraft.
Tootle pip!!
