the hardest jet hmmmmm....probably the master "bater" it has a captain who did not make it to the airlines, a CP who thinks he owns the company and department and really thinks the job is hard. This is is a diificult jet to understand...

The answer is: none.

With FSI, Simuflite, Simcom, etc. you are a paying customer. Unless you are really, really lost they find a way to get you through.

The Beechjet was my first jet with 750-800 hours...you shouldn't have any problem with it. Good luck!

I was not impressed until the 7X. It has some rudder issues (or lack of) but it has a great feel and some decent engines.

The rest -- too light on the controls, very underpowered.

Learjet 20 series? - not hard to fly, even with broken autopilots..

...You quickly learn to fly cruise legs with your knees!

and the airline goal?? - thats a good one...LOL

A Falcon 50EX is FAR from underpowered. We go straight to 430 most days.

It's funny how many guys who "made it" to the airlines are trying to get out.

If you can do that, there's not a whole you can't do.

PS

That's not just once in awhile either.

That's how you have to fly it when you don't have an autopilot.

You missed the question Maverick...

Lear SIC huh!?! and you think you've done it all...
Are you wearing your Sheepskin-lined leather jacket and aviators? Tell me, How do you climb through RVSM with no autopilot?

You file "Negative RVSM" in the remarks section of your flight plan, ATC will then have to give you an unrestricted climb from FL290 up through FL410. That's how.
