The "Gravel Kit" for the pig is purely documentary - ie, every non-bitumen landing counts as two landings. This makes it a inter-hospital only platform. Qld RFDS actually quite liked it, it was somewhat more roomy than a Citation, quicker than a B200, safer than a PC12 (QH requirement for 2 engines) - it was a two-stretcher setup as well Ecovictim - but a jet just makes more sense than starting an otherwise orphan type in a pretty heavy workload environment.
