Your videos should include the following on all your listings - 1) top speed, 2) maximum range, 3) climb rate, 4) maximum cruise elevation, 5) fuel capacity, 6) fuel efficiency (fuel burn per hour), 7) passenger capacity, 8) gross weight capacity

Thank you for the valuable suggestion!

Over the last 45 years I have been lucky to fly a lot of different types of planes. From aerobatic competition biplanes to seaplanes to commuter turbo props to corporate twins to corporate jets to commercial airliners and after numerous failures / malfunctions and intentional shutdowns, I can attest two engines is ALWAYS BETTER THAN one. I like turbines better than pistons and the efficiency of a single turbo prop but there is little recourse when that SE plane decides to have a problem, be it at night, over water, over mountains, IMC etc…. As a freight dog flying C130s all over the world I can’t recall the number of shutdowns we had. As a commuter pilot I’ve had fuel controllers get stuck and become unresponsive to throttle inputs. As a ferry pilot for SE piston planes I’ve spent many a un programmed day and night on a Bench outside of a closed FBO after a mechanical. I paid my dues flying single engine at night IMC TO ALL KINDS OF PLACES. KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW, THAT WAS FOOLISH….

[@jeffharwood624]

I flew PC6's (nicknamed Pinocchio) in the 70's. As time went, preference changes, now rotary wing SPIFR, one could never do a 40 Degree TAC on the side of a mountain with a helicopter. I still would favor a good single engine turboprop like TBM 940. That is one sweeeet plane!

[@filipeprestes3754]

Amazing video! The PC-12 NGX is my fav. I had a fortuitous opportunity to fly in the copilot seat and to notice that the plane was incredibly smooth and could took off at merely 68 kts! I was speechlees

[@cabdulqaadirmaxamuud3364]

my choice is clear, pilatus pc-12, why i selected this plane is three reasons, 1- strength, 2- shortestst to take off and land, 3- high speed that enables you continental trips.

[@tundraspecialops]

Pilatus PC-12 is my choice and suits my wide-ranging mission profiles very well.

[@AviationFederation]

One of my all time favourites!

[@andreasmuller8345]

😎The only one 🛩is the best for every weather, run way condition, with the lowest maintenance cost, the shortes take off and with a very short landing space also at Outback Airfields like in 🇦🇺 Lot's of cargo space with a big automatik back cargo door, where you can use for different option! I would say as a long therm investment the Pilatus PC-12 NG /NGX would make every owner happy, proud to have a such a high end quality Turboprop Aircraft made in 🇨🇭👍🤔🙏

Have you evaluated the Epic e1000gx? It has a larger cabin, faster climb (4000 fpm) and larger full fuel, full passenger payload than the TBM940. Airspeed is within1-2 knots of TBM. Range is 1500nm+. It also is approximately $500,000+ cheaper than TBM940.

thanks alot, pilatus pc-12 NG/NGX is the most confidancial one in your list, for its capability of fast and smooth flight, and also its freindly with unpaved fields, with the shortest take off, if i can, i would take one from this type of pilatus pc-12 NG/NGX

Hi and Thanks. your articles are informative. It will help if you would include information about cockpit instrumentation (Garmin 1000 etc..) and the type of engine and its efficiency and power.

[@philipgledhill7227]

Philip is interested in the kodiak 100.after a period of time you could trade in for a tbm940. I think the kodiak 100 would be good for beginners as well. Do you think the same philip. Take care and keep safe phil.

[@AviationFederation]

Hi, Phil! If you’re talking about flipping aircraft just like flipping cars or houses, I think that could work, although I haven’t tried. It might be a long way from the Kodiak to the TBM though. Maybe start with a piston engine and work your way up!

[@ryanlutzkanin7840]

There's a lot of Pilatus own by Chrono Aviation around here. Love this plane and I didn't know why. I made some research and find that itis the most reliable turbo prop in the market. It as the the look of the old 2nd war plane a bit. Hope to fly on this plane one day.

Nice video, well made. I love planes and your channel. I would like to see the specs of every plane at least. You know, the specs are the most important thing to a pilot wannabe. The Epic E 1000, Lancair Evolution, Piaggio Avanti Evo and the Piper M600 are good capable planes also. The Diamond DA 62 is the most reliable turboprop in history by the way. Just not sure if its "cheap".

@@AviationFederation I thought it was a turboprop. Did I get the wrong name? I'll watch the video. I watched the video. I think it's the same company that developed a turboprop. It was super sleek looking. I think they sold some as experimental but may never have gone into production. I'm back again. I checked my list of plane videos and it's Epic not Stratos. The video I have is from 7 months ago and just says they just got FAA type certificate for full production. I think it is the best looking turboprop.

You most certainly got number 1 correct.

[@robertfrederick9061]

Cheapest??? Using what criteria. The TBM 940 lists for $4.3M I doubt the TBM900 is $300K less. Using a list of single engine turboprops & the base price of each along with operating cost /hour is a more equitable cost factor. This list of 5 seems to be someone's biased favorite turboprops. What happened the to EPIC 1000 or the Meridian turboprop?

[@TM-tw1py]

Well done! But I feel like the title should be '5 Cheapest Turboprops 2021-2022 starting at only $2.5 million'

[@OlavBergman]

I have to ask now. Why do turboproppers always start their engines with to proppeller in Fether stand? Fether is smart when you are actually flying. But when stationary it is the most absolutely the most resistance. I think pilots are not the stupidest of the bunch. So there must be a good reason for it. Please tell me!

Thank you for the very informative contribution. Nevertheless, the polite question why 99% of all aviation commentators and pilots use the generic "aircraft" so incredibly often and happily, instead of the specific, more accurate airplane, plane or aeroplane. Is that due to a tick? Do you sacrifice accuracy because you think "aircraaaaft" sounds better?
