How come Hawker-Beech has the BEW at 10,985? And his Operating Empty Weight at 11,092 is, in reality, pretty close to your Basic Empty Weight. I'll concede you can make the numbers work, if the pax are willing to go thru Dare Cty Airport, most folks going to BDA start out of NYC or DC, if not more inside the US. Secondly, do you have a dry footprint landing at the shoreline with 1100#?
You really do enjoy winding up the professionals with your "ah shucks, I'm just a country lawyer" approach to aviation. You do realize the way you migh operate that Citation or Hawker would not pass in the FAR 121 world?
