On touchdown does the aircraft stay planted, given its spoilers seem very tiny especially when compared to latest Falcons that seem to have acres of spoilers.....why arent the roll spoilers setup to activate on landing. Surely that would help some. only thing I can think of is maybe they would give a pitch up tendancy.

Why no auto spoilers or autobrakes, even the TEN doesnt seem to have this.

I do hope the traditional interior is offered on the TEN, as the new "funky" modern look with its angular lines and space age look is ghastly.

Regarding reverse, can you modulate it with the reverse levers. They seem tiny and of the all or nothing variety.

It will be interestign to see the weight saved between the proline 21 and the Garmin avionic. Kingair that are given the Garmin treatment lose somethign like 320lbs, and fills a skip bin full of wire, brackets, mounting trays, power supplies and sundry items.

Disapointed to se the TEN still doesnt allow access to the baggage compartment from the main cabin therough the lav. The external baggage door looks tiny........can you get a hard case bicycle case through it and into the cargo compartment. Againm the Falcons seem to be much better in this regard.

All new Falcons are sertified for 6 deg steep approach, will Cessna offer that capability to allow them into London City Airport
