4000 feet of runway with a load on a regular basis is a tight for a premier.
Fuel Flow--1200 first hour, 1000 next hour. (Some plan 900 the third hour).
12500 MGTOW
10000 Max Zero Fuel
Typical empty weight of 8400 lbs.
Runway example. 1000 ft. elevation 12,500 lbs. 30 Celcius
Flaps 10--5,138 feet
Flaps 20--5,186 feet
Landing Distance, same conditions, 11000lbs. Dry Runway.
3,303 feet

Did anyone say 'Piaggio'? The best bang for the buck all around. 375TAS ACTUAL figures, 1300-1400nm range and a quiet, large cabin. 20kts faster then a Citation II on 50% of the fuel. Good runway numbers and excellent DOCs (somewhere around what a King Air 300 costs.) It's a great bird with lots of ramp appeal. It's single pilot and really a sweet ride all around. Best of all, it's not 30 years old.

Not saying it isn't a thoroughbred, but there are some tradeoff's. I've ridden in it once and was blown away by it's performance, but as I mentioned Mx could eat you.

PAY4 340-350 tas at fl280-310...lowest fuel burn i have seen is 77gph total at fl390 and 285 tas there...
Cheyenne 2 is a good bird that is faster than a king air 90 but smaller inside.
I see controller has a 400ls for sale for 659k and needs props...but if you are part 91...tbo is only a suggestion...the problem is dowty props have a year limit.

I live under the approach to HOU (about 4 miles outside ROYCE). The only aircraft I ever take notice of are the lifeguard helos at or below 500 feet and the Piaggios at or above 2000.

Question for those in the know:
- You are flying in a CJ3, or other turbine, that may be flown single-pilot.
- you are single-pilot rated in it.
- so is the other pilot with you.
Can both of you log the time? Does one person log Second Pilot?
