Hi All,
Looking for the aeroplane both in the Twin Biz Jet and Twin Turbo prop class including VLJ's BUT excluding Fixed Gear a/c with the best STOL capabilities and criteria currently certified in the JAA world?
STOL is the sole concern; not seats; and with retractable gear.
Grateful for any pointers and sources of comparison (online).
Kind regards,
EG:ok:

Oh dear... :bored:

If you want a STOL aircraft, then it's probably for operating in and out of demanding and challenging places, so you'll probably end up with something with fixed gear, like the Islander or TwOtter. :sad:

On the other hand, if you're looking for a twinjet or turboprop with decent field performance, then the load you plan to carry and how far you wish to carry it become the overriding factors. :8

In short, unless this is a spotter's query, you're asking the wrong question. :zzz:

Still in production? No longer produced but plenty of support? Not worried either way? Dash 7 comes to mind.

The Dash 7 being a double Twin ;) of course...
Kind of cool but as a Biz aircraft, not the first one to come to mind :)
