    may be if you can do a follow up video on how much it costs to maintain and hourly cost and so on ....

      It's called Google, I am amazed how lazy people are.

      Listen here smartass, This channel does in-depth video on maintenance cost and hourly cost, there are many videos like that of other aircrafts on their channel, so I asked them to do one on pc24, what is wrong with that???
      PC24 is fairly new, so all the information available regarding that of maintenance and everything is from the manufacturer itself, it is always better to get information from owners and operators regarding real life cost associated with a certain aircraft rather than from the manufacturer....

    Can you compare the PC-24 and the Phenom 300?

    What makes the PC-24 able to land in unprepared terrine? Is it just the landing gear? Is it possible to modify a similarly sized jet so that it too can land thus?

      A number of things, among them:
      - robust and forgiving main landing gear
      - deflector kit on the front gear to keep debris away from the hull
      - reinforced, easily repairable inboard flap skin acting as a debris deflector for the main landing gear to keep debris out of the engine
      - high engine position to keep them from sucking in debris
      Whether you can modify another jet would depend on the jet. Can the gear handle the stresses? If it can't, that's going to be hard to fix, because you can't just beef up the gear itself, you'ld also have to reinforce the mounts, obviously, and that means modifying the wing box. A thicker flap skin would probably be a non-starter, so you'ld need to add deflectors to the main gear. Is there even space in the wheel wells for a deflector kit? Obviously, you can't reposition the engines, so do you need another way to protect them from FOD? Is there? And so on and so forth. It's not easy, and it might not be possible.
      FWIW, there is a gravel kit for the 737-200, so it can be done even for larger jets. However, there are no such modifications available for later 737 models.
