Phenom 300 pilots feedback

[Lowmick]

As far as I know, Phenom 100 has no limitation for crosswind. Anyway, max demonstrated x-wind is 17kt and tailwind limitation is 10kt.

CPDLC is an available option. I believe there is a weight limit above which it will be mandatory. Anyone able to help out there?

Worth bearing in mind I think, that this only applies to private ops. Under AOC, "Demonstrated" effectively becomes "Limiting" unless you are prepared to set up a flight-test program and go out and prove it to the satisfaction of your regulator.

CPDLC:

LINK 2000+ Programme | Eurocontrol

The LINK 2000+ Programme started in 2001 and is now in the full scale implementation phase governed by the DLS IR which requires:

All newly delivered aircraft operating above FL285 to be equipped as of 2011,
Core European ANSPs to be operational by 7 February 2013,
The rest of European ANSPs to be operational by 5 February 2015,
All existing aircraft operating above FL295 to be retroffited by 5 Feb 2015 (unless exempt).

17 kts very poor. Not that we would be interested in a 100 anyway but that would totally rule it out.

17kt is demonstrated, not limiting. My best, so far, was 32kt in Vienn. Not much of trouble.
The fun fact is that the 100 and 300 are giving hell to the competitors...
