Figures as published by the sources listed below; third-party sources are marked. Actual performance depends on configuration, payload, weather and the rules that apply to the operation.

Cabin & interior

Cabin and comfort

Published cabin: 16 ft 8 in L × 57 in H × 54 in W.

Cabins range from the compact TBM to the PC-12 and King Air 360, which seat up to 9 to 11 with room for baggage or cargo.

Layouts differ between aircraft of the same type. When comparing aircraft for sale, compare floor plans, seat count, galley, lavatory and connectivity, not only the type.

Performance & range

Range and mission suitability

Published range: 1,720 nm. Speed: 310 ktas.

Typical use in this category: Most missions under about 1,000 nm, into regional airports and shorter runways that jets cannot always use.

Published ranges assume specific conditions, such as passenger load, reserves and cruise speed. For a particular route, EDAERO checks real-world capability with your operator or flight planner.

Runway performance

Airports and runways

Published takeoff distance: 2,111 ft.

Runway requirements change with weight, temperature and airport elevation. Check performance for your most demanding airports before committing to a type.

Operating costs

What drives the cost

  • Fuel burn per hour is lower than for jets
  • Engine maintenance programmes on the PT6 engines
  • Pilot requirements: single-pilot or two-pilot operation
  • Insurance, which reflects single- or twin-engine operation and pilot experience
