Did anybody else read the latest BCA article about the 400XT and have a big problem with it? They landed this airplane at a 3400' runway (MYF) and landing distance under those circumstances would have been about 3100' by the book. It was a Part 91 trip but are many 91 operators using the entire runway length in their landing distance computations? If they are how have there not been more runway overruns?
The CP that flew the plane is a guy I once knew and I KNOW he is familiar with the 60% and 80% available landing distance rules. We are a Part 91 operator and we use the 60% or 80% rules so we would never park our airplane at MYF. It really makes it difficult when you try to run a conservative operation and then see (in real life or in print) people doing things like this.
Any 91 operators want to tell me I'm too conservative?
