DWD,
The Avanti is definitely not a B200/PC-12 replacement. More it compliments them by offering a high speed, high altitude aircraft for flying the long legs from major aerodromes to major aerodromes.

It's take off and landing performance is such that it would be useless on short strips (<1,000m's), therefore while not impossible (roo's are everywhere), the chances of an animal strike are reduced by operating to aerodromes which are likely to have high fences etc. around them.
