My layman calculation gives about 103 + wind corrections.
If I remember correctly the highest approach speed for the C550 was 105kts and that was at MTOW so normally approach speed would be lower.

On this topic how are things panning out with the CareFlight G150 in DRW? I understand this was to do the RDH - RAH runs with 2 cot capability. Why didnt they take a look at the old VH-RIO that was on the market for some time. .

PC24 is about the only jet able to handle the short remaining runway at YBAF at present. Main runway closed for reconstruction.

What’s this got to do with anything?

Well BAz,
that’s a pretty good thread drift if it’s “slightly off topic”.
Thank you

I wonder if Simon is getting that one or if he’s still waiting for his to arrive? I’m guessing he was onboard as he posted the video.

There is another on the book of farces which is considerably more dramatic.

The operator is based in Adelaide and it flew into the Vale via Devonport.

Reminds my of Sully on the Hudson movie.

These are all the test approaches from a year ago proving it can be done :-)

Don't think I would've posted that if I flew it. Ridiculously low approach. Look where the radalt called 50. Way way short of the threshold.

Rising terrain possibly, get it on 16 into ML all the time. Have you landed there? I haven't.

It's GA into a grass strip! Simon hasn't installed the ILS and PAPI yet!
