Cheers everyone ... very enlightening.. especially the fuel burn. I can see why alot of people want them...seem to run on the smell of an oily rag

The runway limits were quite important in my project for such a fuel efficient Ac as the 400....... could it do short runways to take off and land and what during both would limit you... Could this Ac get into and out of lets say somewhere like London Cty with avg-full load and if not why not ????????? I'm assuming runway length would limit you being too short for t/o and or ldg.?

Was on one into and out of the IOM, both with brisk xwinds... Stopped reasonably quickly although theres plenty of tarmac at ronaldsway but I thought it was a little slow into the sky for such a light load....

Deano, G , AKA thanks for your time... very enlightening me thinks I may have to seek me a type course.... Your thoughts on City would be appreciated though
