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:rolleyes: .
 
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.
