It flies about like any other airplane. It's got a bigger cabin than a King Air 200, but flies about 100 knots faster on the same fuel burn, and goes up to FL410. It's quieter inside than some airplanes; the passengers can hear the pilots talk, so some restraint is in order. It's a fairly simple airplane. Flies more like a turbojet airplane, with the operating economy of turboprop. Plan on jet distances and landing speeds.

Pilot impressions...just another airplane.
