Hello,

Thanks for your reply!

I must say that Tyrollean is the first airline I encountered that aplies no limitations/restrictions to the Dash 8 MFF... Among the very few other airlines operating the 400 and any of the other series, they all aply limitations. The good SOPs, you mentioned, are indeed very important, but, in my opinion, is not enough.

I've flown both to Bolzano and Innsbruck on business jets before and, although I consider both airports to be out of the ordinary, I don't find them in the same category as the airports we operate at. I find them easier. Although, I do respect the extra consideration for icing conditions/contaminated runways and climb performance at those two airports you mentioned.

We will be flying to one 800m runway with the 200 and to two 1300m runways with the 400. In these (often wet) non-instrument runways, poor visibility, strong crosswinds and medium to severe turbulence is a constant!

Nevertheless, I aprecciate your help. Thank you!
