You can’t lift a wing with a spoiler.
Also, they’ve had a propensity to have engines flame out at altitude.
Otherwise - 400As are largely 15-20 year old light jets with no better than average runway, climb, and altitude performance.
Easy jet to fly, not as forgiving as a 500/525 series Citation but it doesn’t tend to bite either.

Personally that’s the only jet I’ve flown that I never truly felt comfortable in. Like others stated - easy to fly, marginal performance, with little engines known to flame out in the clouds at altitude.
Glad to have that experience behind me.

[QUOTE=starkutt1;2510503]From a pilot stand point my opinion is, the airplane is a good older airframe that flys well and if the job gets you what you want/need pay/time I wouldn’t turn it down bases on the type. The BE-400 has been a very popular charter/corporate airframe for years.
