3. Do you transfer routinely to APU bleed for every landing? Or only when hot & high?
Since MfS did not answer question 3, I'll try to answer it. At our operation, we normally do NOT start the APU for landing unless anti-ice is ON for the landing. Hot & High, at any weight under maximum landing would not require APU for performance reasons, but might be useful for passenger comfort. But, I've never seen it as necessary even in India.

We do use runway analysis by APG for T/O and Landing.

With regards to flex, available on the GLEX, but certified flex power on the CL604 will require money down, I suspect.

I don't work in Le Belle Province, but rather close, BTW.

Nice answer MfS, i've wondered the same thing-how MCT is greater than TO? I always assumed the flat rating was os great the engine essentially ran at MCT or less all the time.
