U of I and Minitour, I read the TCDS and see you are correct.

Wow, now I've see it all. Only FAA HQ could classify a (6 seat?) corporate turbo jet under the 19 passenger turboprop category. I need to go buy some more asprin now..........

8 Seats if you count the spacious lav and sideways vomit-inducing, refreshment center replacing seat.

...9 if you count the right seat ballast seat.

I was also surprised to see the aircraft certified the way it is, but I'm sure stranger things have happened.

And yeah, I've done 9 pax part 91 flights in this thing. Thaaaaaat's a real treat. "Please don't touch...ple..pl...really don't touch that!"

"Why did you yell at my son/daughter?"

"...do you enjoy pressurization at 45,000'?"

"He/she was just curious."

I'm afraid you don't know the half of it. A story for another time.

Mini, A hundred years ago I flew an early Citation 501. On one flight one of the passengers ended up with blue all over them. After that we flew with it empty. The "good old days"........

I know several people have said they put kitty litter in theirs. Ours is a flushing potty, so that wouldn't be good, I'm sure.

I particularly found amusing when the service center had to remove the entire interior a few months ago to clean up a leaking tank.

Not so amusing for the tech's at the service center..... Also a prime spot for corrosion. Nasty stuff.

Troof!

Anyway, I wouldn't add a factor to my takeoff numbers. I'd just go into the AFM and see what it says.

If he is flying 135 he needs to go to his approved procedures and follow them.

The FAA makes policy, not sense.
