How many airfields in Europe will they be able to access?

Lear 60XR landing distance (unfactored), 4 pax, min IFR reserves in the tanks only = 3090 ft. Factor by 1.92 for wet runway = 5,934 ft.

How many Biz Av/GA airports are there in Europe with an LDA of 6,000ft or more??!

This aircraft is only going to go into commercial airports near the key cities, those that cost a bomb, are slot constrained, nightmare for immigration, customs etc.

Wrong, wrong aircraft. Achilles heal is that landing performance - hopeless.
