The Phenom 300 is a very nice looking aircraft. I parked next to one in Sydney the other day (see pic).
While I don't know much about them at all, I believe the Phenom has a little more speed and a...

I can’t speak highly enough of FlightSafety. Incredibly professional and thorough.

When I did it Dallas was the only place in the world you could go for a -24 rating.
They’ve recently...

There is, but it’s the same as the -12NG with a few extra features.
Once you get used to it, it’s very intuitive, and incredibly useful.

Having said that, I remember thinking on the type rating...

I went to FlightSafety in Dallas for the type rating and the recurrent training a year later.
We did the single-pilot rating, but the split was around 50/50 of people on the course doing...

No worries.
We certainly can, and have done so on more than one occasion.
But I haven't personally done that yet. No doubt I will eventually.

No. A pilot must be seated at the controls, which probably goes a long way to explaining why I've never used it.

Having said that, a lot of international -24 operators are flying the aircraft...

There is a "Quiet Power Mode" function on the right engine. Two minutes after starting this engine you can put it in QPM mode, which is a slower than normal idle so it acts as a kind of APU. In QPM...

There are loads of variables, of course. But TAS of 400-410kt and fuel burn of 900-1000 lb/hr total is around the mark for the way we fly it.

This was taken after a max TOW departure and climb...

Every time I fly it I'm on my own up the front, unless it's a check flight.
I've taken off from Darwin at MTOW and climbed direct to FL450. It's fine.

M0.70 works fine DN-AD most of the time. Of course if there's a strong headwind / alt requirements, or we have a particularly heavy load we stop at YBAS.
Hardly a big deal. We have also done DN-ML...

Cheers, morno. It's a fantastic machine and represents a huge step up from the PC12 / B200 in terms of performance and patient / crew comfort.
As it's a totally new type and our first jet we are...

We don't push ours much at all in the cruise, so almost always use 0.70 or 0.71, which usually gives a TAS between 405 and 420kt.
The aircraft is quite capable of doing 0.74 (which is the MMO) at...

Ours regularly flies between Darwin and Adelaide, so range is not bad for what is after all a single-pilot light jet.
The windscreen thing is a known issue but we have had no trouble with ours. ...
