1. 2 on board
2. Rolling takeoff
3. off centreline
4. early right turn over tiger country
5. no upper air work to check aircraft handling
6. orbit at 500ft on final !!! FFS
7. touch and go off first ever landing
No helmets, flight suit or gloves and the copilot monitoring his iphone rather than the instruments looks pretty casual.


They have a proven record of passenger protection
What are the statistics on passenger survivability?

If the bottom of the windscreen extended bit lower it would help counter the loss of forward visibility due to the cabin being located behind two engines.

Comments on crash worthiness of having a nosecone instead of an engine up front?
Locating the engines outboard and further from the cabin is a plus?
