FAQ

Common questions about the Turboprop

How many passengers can a turboprop carry?
Six to nine adults with luggage on the PC-12 and King Air 350. The TBM 960 is smaller and typically carries four to five passengers with light luggage.
How fast is a turboprop compared to a jet?
Turboprops cruise at 280 to 330 knots, versus 400 to 470 for a light jet. On missions under 90 minutes the door-to-door time is often the same because turboprops can land closer to the final destination.
Can a turboprop land on grass or gravel?
Yes. The PC-12 and King Air 350 are certified for unpaved runways with a minimum length of about 700 metres. This is the single biggest reason to choose a turboprop over a jet.
What is the cheapest way to fly private?
A single-engine turboprop like the PC-12 or TBM 960 is the lowest hourly cost. For missions under two hours it is typically 40 to 55 percent cheaper than a light jet.
