Why does the plane not know its fuel flow already at different altitudes, just like we have it in Airliner FMS systems since the late 80s? That would make it so much easier.
1:42 - "Only cruise altitude needs to be entered. Default values from the aircraft database are shown in the data fields but can be changed." Given the example 0.78M and 0.80M values in the video, I suspect this was made some time before the PC-24 was certified. It's certified with a Mmo of 0.74. It's likely Pilatus would've liked to achieve M0.80 to compete with the Phenom 300, or perhaps Honeywell just assumed it would be comparable to similar size jets or even used a generic video for this.
The PC24 pilots I had a chance to talk to a few days ago say that although it will be certified for single pilot it is a handful and there is enough work for two pilots, especially when there is a system malfunction. A few days before I met them the autopilot kicked off at cruise and If if it was single pilot that person would have an amazing workload to handle...

use current for that info

Is this the same Primus Apex found on the PC-12/47E?
Copilot is considered a passanger?!
The aircraft will be certified to be flown by one Pilot only.........
