Yes the short runway provides limitations with both takeoffs and landings -- but I should mention it is getting extended to 4200 which will help some. Thanks for the feedback.

Just thinking out loud. Maybe you should be upfront with this guy and tell him you have no idea and he'd get a better result from an aircraft consulting firm...or fortune teller.

3600' is PLENTY for a straight-wing Citation to operate safely in and out of, assuming its dry and the crew flies a proper takeoff/landing profile.

New here, but I'm currently flying the Excel/XLS with some previous time in a Citation II. EXTW gave some impressive performance info to consider. Realistically, that's 2-3 pax with full fuel, or 5-6 pax and nearly 1200nm. If both types are really in the running (purchase price and operating expenses may be limiting factors)...go with the Excel/XLS. The cabin size, realistic lav & APU are big amenities.
