SOP's don't prescribe every scenario. The differences in my operation vs turboprops is in allowed spacing entering the CTAF area. 10/10/1. Jets need more room. They don't slow down anything like what a TP can, they aren't capable of flying speeds as compatible with GA traffic as a TP can, and if things go sideways, they have a whole lot more inertia, and a whole lot more thrust delay than a TP. And people do stupid things in Ballina so regularly you can set your watch to it.
It is not the performance that is the issue, it is how the aircraft is managed.
Is that so? And you're basing this on your extensive experience flying both TP's and 180 seat jets into busy CTAF's I presume?
