For those with the skills and the budget for moving up into turbine-powered airplanes, a used turboprop single could make sense. On the other hand, some recent head-shaking wrecks make us pause and wonder if some owners were better suited for sitting in the aft cabin instead of the cockpit.
Success begins long before you even start flying the airplane by selecting the right model for your mission and working with sales pros who have your best interest in mind. Be open to learning as much as you possibly can about the aircraft’s systems and an expanded and more challenging flight envelope, and have an open checkbook for maintenance and training.
