Good point.

The Let 410 is an excellent workhorse but IMHO it is the wrong aircraft for short bush strips where its performance is at best marginal.

Rather use a Twotter or a Buffalo where STOL performance is an issue, that way you have a better chance when someone loads an extra passenger with heavy bags and your luck takes a holiday.
