Virtually the worse landing performance of all bizjets

You can't keep ignoring the fact that the Lear 60 needs nearly 6,000 ft landing distance for public transport (charter) ops into a wet runway with just 4 passengers and typically minimum NBAA-type IFR reserves. It needs nearly 5,200ft to land on a dry runway on the same basis - that in Europe wipes out the use of an awful lot of useful alternatives to the slot congested and costly commercial hubs.

It ticks lots of other boxes for go-faster pilots, but it's uncharterable for too many regional and GA options.
