Wow, your past can come back to haunt you.... I had forgotten about that Twin Commander marketing video.
Tiron and I sold the Commander 1000 in 2009, took on another partner, and in 2010 bought a new Embraer Phenom 100. We flew it back from Brazil and have enjoyed ever since. It has been a reliable trouble-free aircraft and Embraer has a nearby service center in Hartford, Connecticut. As I write this the plane is at the Cody, Wyoming airport as we explore Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons. The park is crowded and I guess Covid-19 has driven many away from home or at least not modified their travel plans.
The Phenom 100 has seven seats including a belted potty. It is short-legged compared to the Commander with about 1,100nm NBAA range. Our longest trip to date is Scotland via Labrador, Greenland and Iceland. Passengers love the hiss of air going by rather than the beat of propellers. Pilots love the cockpit ergonomics and friendly Garmin NXi avionics. The only unusual feature is brake-by-wire which sub-optimum and takes getting used to. Also the turning radius is quite large... linemen may try to put you in a parking place you can't easily get out of. Also seventy-five feet is the minimum runway width if there are no turnarounds at the end. I fondly remember the Commander's hydraulic nose wheel steering and how maneuverable the aircraft was.
The Phenom should have 3,500 feet of dry runway, 5,000 feet wet, and 7 - 9,000 feet with snow. That limits operations in New England in the winter. I could be just as happy in a twin turboprop for this and other reasons. Initial type rating training and recurrency are more expensive in a jet. The Commander 1000 remains a favorite aircraft.
I would add a note... things broke far more often in the Commander, and I attribute this to the high vibration environment. The engines are so tightly cowled that engineers left the strain relief off some of the Cannon plugs, replaced by silicone sealant. Well, when that sealant breaks loose it vibrates back and forth and breaks wires.
Strangely, our biggest expense in twelve years of Commander ownership was windshields... I think we went through four or five. Tiron had one crack during climb and I came back to the parked aircraft to find a cracked copilot's windshield. I'm guessing the metal structure around the windows was insufficient to handle the hoop stresses, or maybe PPG had a manufacturing issue.
