It is one of very few turbo-prop aircraft that live in the rarified atmosphere of pure jets.
At 41,000ft, [approximately 12.5 kms - utilising the jetstream when appropriate] with 8 passengers in pressurised comfort, it is an exceptional turbo-prop aircraft by any measure. In many ways it is the perfect charter aircraft, providing the same capacity and performance as many mid-size jets. Its impressive power and endurance provides effective, comfortable, pressurised transport throughout Australia.
The Cheyenne 400LS, while exhibiting jet like performance provides it at approximately 70% of the cost of many corporate jets.
The serious STOL [Short Take Off & Landing] performance of the Cheyenne 400LS makes it an immediate contender for airports such as:
-
Mt.Hotham - limited in length and Australia's highest airport.
-
Lord Howe Island - a very challenging airport to all but a few high performance aircraft.
-
Lizard, Dunk and Brampton Island runways, they are short and hot, a marginal environment for most high performance aircraft.
-
Kingscote, Kangaroo Island - marginal at best for all but a few jets.
-
Cessnock Airport - for the first time, the Hunter Valley is able to offer Executive Standard, Australia wide charter flights directly into Cessnock Airport.
It has the rare ability to hold Sea Level Cabin Pressure to FL200, ideal for passenger comfort and many medical conditions. A dominant feature of the Cheyenne 400LS is the broad Dowty Rotol propellers. It is these huge paddle-blades that harness the [reigned in 1,650shp] 1000shp of the Garrett, Dash 14 engines, delivering this power all the way to 20,000 ft. Regardless, the cabin and cockpit environment still allows comfortable conversation and flight without headsets.
