This flight is not feasible under the current conditions in Europe. The airspace around Sochi is closed, and whether a business jet is allowed to fly over Georgia to get to Russia is questionable and would have to be clarified. Sochi is interesting in that only runways 02 and 06 are available, the opposite runways are not available, an overflight of the Caucasus and an extremely steep landing approach are not planned and there are no official maps for it

Such a dinky little jet - where'd you get that headset??
I'm sure mine didn't come so equipped...

The Visionjet has often been ridiculed as the cheapest jet in the world, but anyone who does this has not grasped the philosophy behind the aircraft. What do you get for Euro 1.75 million? It has the Garmin 3000, the parachute for the whole plane like the Cirrus 20 and 22, and "Safe Return" as standard. I think the latter is really cool. A passenger can really bring the plane down with the push of a button. Meanwhile, Safe Return is also available for other aircraft, but it was developed by Garmin for this aircraft. The aircraft was the 1st jet of its kind with only one engine. It won the Collier Trophy 2017:

CIRRUS AIRCRAFT
For designing, certifying and entering into service the Vision Jet; the world's first single-engine general aviation personal jet aircraft that advances safety with a whole-airframe parachute system.
