November 4, 201114 yr HiWhat is typical boarding area of a J4100 on big airport - I think the plane is way to small to be operated by a jetway?Thanks,Harmen
November 4, 201114 yr I would choose any gate or parking location that does not have a jetway. Since the JS4100 has it's own stairs at the boarding door, there is no point of having to connect a jetway. Kenny Lee"Keep climbing"

November 4, 201114 yr Most airports have special gates for propjobs. You actually walk out onto the parking area and board there. I personally enjoy the experience, except when its raining Branton Turner
November 4, 201114 yr Author So, the most realistic experience you can get is to choose a ramp or a parking spot near a terminal? Or maybe GA parking?If you have for example a chart of a specific airport, is there any way you can see where the prop parking places are located, or the non jetway ones?Harmen
