Does the Premier have auto land?

[airludy]

Someone was trying to tell me the Raytheon Premier has a full auto-land? Is this true? Any opinions on this airplane?

Premier

I did a demo flight in one. It did not have auto land. The brakes are terrible. It's very loud. I give it a D at best.

I don't think any of them do. The one i fly doesn't and the other one in our hanger doesn't either. I don't think that they have that as an option.

This has to be a joke. Just look at the airplane. How can anyone think a plane that ugly has autoland. .

I don't know of any purpose built Corporate airplane that has auto-land... (BBJ might, but that was an airliner first)...

Based on its recent history I'd say its got "Auto LONG Land". Probably be better off with the front/side airbag option which I'm sure Raytheon must be working on by now .

Judging by how many have run off the runway it certainly needs something !!!!

What is a better airplane in the same class? It seems there isnt much range or that good of performance on this airplane when its loaded up and has a few passengers on board

I think you have auto-land confused with the in-development auto-launch anchor option. Shoots an anchor out the back when it senses only 500 ft of runway left.

He's right, that was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact I didn't think of it 1st. Kudos FlyFlyFly.

Ahhh, I see your head is out of the books and the new rating on your profile. Congrats Man!!! I hope they put that mod on the one at our place. It needs that one and the owner/operator ejection seat.

Well the guy that bought this airplane is telling everyone it has a full auto land feature.. He says the pilot doesnt have to do anything, thats why it only needs one pilot. By the way, he isnt even a pilot. I guess the salesman at Raytheon blew some serious smoke up this guys butt... I thought it was BS and and looked it up online, and figured I would as some of you guys. This airplane doesnt sound too impressive

I know many of the Raytheon sales guys, and I dont think any of them said that.

Either he just does not understand, or he is the one blowing smoke trying to cover up the fact he is to cheap to pay 2 pilots. He may also be playing the my jet is better than your jet game. I have seen owners do that before.

As an example, I once watched a pilot bragging to a counter chick how hard it was to fly a Citation. I am think I blew his cover when I started laughing.
