Full disclosure, I'm going to spitball these numbers, and granted as a rook all I know is my own airplane. I don't mean to make any sort of crazy or braggadocios statements, but the Q can almost certainly out perform those numbers with 74 aboard at basically sea level. A sub 5000ft runway is turboprop territory. Our calculated landing rolls with a ton of extra gas and a full load are somewhere around mid 4000s. That's flaps 15 reduced Np. We also de-rate take off power by up to 10% almost every time and still make it off in less than 5000.
