Not surprised. The airplane shares some of the blame. But the culture at jet it is also to blame. I remember sitting in indoc and being told "this is the minimum runway length" and my first week out of training being sent intoa much shorter runway ... Called the DO and he's like oh it fine next of xxxxx.

The question is how do these bespoke services coddle the Rich in the way they are accustomed with regard to service and safety. You cannot have a concierge oriented flying service killing the host, which is why Executive Jet has such tight panties. It’s also why NetJets lies about their deviations and little adventures in which they accommodate reality. The Rich will not be exposed to corporeal risk. Management needs to understand this while hiring in this difficult environment.

You just described almost every 135 operation in coastal N America.

Jet It grounds fleet and furloughs
They've grounded their HondaJets for a "safety standdown" and furloughed employees.

Bummer…
Serious question.. What is it about the HondaJet specifically that leads to these runway excursions? Certain planes have their own idiosyncrasies, the Piaggio Avanti being one of them, but this can’t all be pilot error, can it?
