I flew high performance turbo props into Ballina for years, before moving to the bus where I've continued to do it for years. It is not the same. That a q300, which crosses the fence as slow as 87 kts is able to safely operate in that environment has little relevance to what we do in the jet.

It would be interesting to know what your SOPs say on operations into non-controlled aerodromes (in Class G) and how they differed from the turbo prop op and in what regard ??
It is not the performance that is the issue, it is how the aircraft is managed.
