One of the major advantages of turboprops is that they have excellent short-field take-off and landing capabilities. Most turboprop aircraft have much shorter takeoff and landing distances than light jets, which means they have access to smaller, regional airports with shorter runways. When it comes to safety: turboprops are safer than light jets, due to their increased ‘balanced field’ capability. A balanced field implies how quickly, safely, and easily you can stop a plane – if anything goes wrong – after it has reached its takeoff speed. As turboprops have large propellers, they provide extra drag to help the plane stop when required, besides they use much shorter take-off and landing length, giving you more room to stop the plane or rotate to avoid a potential hazard when needed. #turboprop #lightjet #verylightjet #VLJ ....................................................................
