Not viable for small general aviation, fuel tanks in the wings for most aircrafts so not practical.

During the 2024 Singapore Airshow today, COMAC has received orders from Tibet Airlines for 40x C919 of the plateau (shortened) variant and 10x ARJ21 of the plateau variant, alongside 6x derviative models of the ARJ21 from Henan Aviation Investment for firefighting, search-&-rescue (SAR) command and medical use.
pretty much the only reason you'd want to get shortened variant is for these high altitude flying.
At least put it in a museum somewhere...

General
AG600M arrives in Hulunbuir as part of its cold weather testing.
AG600M has officially completed cold weather testing, during which all subsystems (mechanical, electrical, avionics, fuel, engines, etc.) have been verified to perform as expected in temperatures from -20°C to as low as -40°C. Also successfully verified are the procedures for de-icing and other low-temperature maintenance routines. The successful completion of cold weather testing marks the end of an importance phase of the ongoing airworthiness certification and demonstrates that AG600M can operate in diverse weather conditions throughout all of China.
