I know this is an old thread guys, but just doing some research..
Re field performance, Pilatus often talks up the short feild performance. The figures of 500 - 550m are often mentioned.
Can any of you on the type confirm if these are real world numbers, or more importantly, can you carry a decent load and still achive these numbers?
What about unprepared strips - will it handle a roughish surface within reason, or just a beautiful "bowling green" grass strip?
I understand its not a Twotter or Caravan, but just how close is it in the real world, away from perf charts and marketing speak?
Cheers boys..
