Is this representative of the real world.Can it be true that a light jet has a similar landing roll of a turbo prop, or is the impressive short field landings in the jet more from an ideal set of conditions that's not easily repeatable where as the Kingair can do it day in day out. Is it no longer true that turbo props (Kingair 350) need less runway than light jets. For simplicity I'm ignoring regulatory runway factored distances.
Here is a video of a Phenom 300 landing with 7 people onboard. 550 meters ground roll and exits 700m after runway threshold.
The CJ4 also have some great runway performances. In this video, you can see a 450m take off roll.
