Well summarised LS.

Wally, the gulf in certification and guaranteed performance between B200 and B350 is huge. The company and pilot errors at TWB aside, a FAR23 certificated aircraft operated to the flight manual figures can easily end up in a position on takeoff whereby it does not have enough room left to stop, but does not have the performance to keep going if one fails, autofx, rudder boost or not.

If operated according to the flight manual, a FAR 25 certificated aircraft cannot.

This Wally, is a large increase in safety. You are now being poked by the same stick that you use with so much glee and enthusiasm at PC12 drivers.

Regards

CS ex PC12, B200 and now FAR25 driver
