Thank you, I will try to relax. Sorry if I sounded arrogant, was just interested in finding out more info.

I would class 1 in 12 months or so as very common, given this is unheard of for most other turboprops. Even if the tire speed is only 139 kts, with a Vref of 145 and no tailwind, the max speed you should be touching down with is around 135. Does the Dash have a restriction on use of flap for approach and landing under icing conditions? Where in Australia do you have icing conditions close to the ground? (not insinuating anything, just genuinely interested).
