Question

No, that bit under the floor is where the wheels go, the hold is that big cupboard behind the cabin. At least on the 328 jets that I fly in it is. We operate 3 jets for Shell, which as a lower form of pond life I get to sit in the back of occasionally (and jump seat if I want to watch tellie). Nice a/c which really shift on take off/climb.

I don't unferstand the economics (relative to the 328 TP)though; 33% faster but twice the fuel burn? I assume the lower maintenance cost without the gearbox and prop makes up the difference?
