Info gained from December 2023 NOSUM's and Published AIP's (maybe updated)
Then it’s another TANGFU.The lighter -100 model still requires a PCN of 31.4, provided that it's operating on high strength flexible subgrade pavement, as indicated by F/A/X/X. To meet the suitable airport standards for airports like Hoskins, Gurney, Tokua, and Buka, the aircraft would need to function at weights in the range of low 50's or high 40's tonnes area, which is almost comparable to the empty weight of the 220 model.
