If speed is not an issue, the best selling single turbo prop of course the PC12. A true SUV in the air. Reliable, good parts and service availability. Exceptional field performance.
After sales service & availability of spares can be an issue with turboprops in many locations. But if this is taken care of & range required is 1000 miles with ability to land on small airstrips, turboprops are good. These are fuel efficient than jet but below FL25. If cabin insulation can be improved, it will be big plus.
YOU DID NOT address the 2 engine safety issue - which is the main concern when you have money - unless your going into backcountry strips. SAFETY is #1.
A high end turbo prop (King Air 200/300 series, PC12) will outperform a light jet in payload, runway performance, and cabin size. A light jet is often owner flown, or otherwise meant to only realistically carry a couple of passengers. If you’re budget limited and want to carry 3+ passengers, don’t be too quick to dismiss the turbo prop.
After several months of looking into the turboprops, I concur. Now I am looking at the Piaggio Evo and the Pilatus PC 12 NGX. Just a tad concerned about parts and service on the Piaggio. Need more research.
@@larrymayberry2312 Piaggio Evo is a very good aircraft BUT getting parts is a nightmare, so stay away. Piaggio need to transfer the company to the US and get parts built and available in the USA to be competitive.
@@larrymayberry2312 Here in Australia, which is a demanding environment for any business aircraft, the reliability/safety/supportability of the PC 12 is exceptional, despite having only one engine. If its performance is adequate for you, it's a very economical and reliable choice.

Good information, as usual. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info. Much needed.
Honda jet!
Piper (M500-600) doesn't get a lot of now nowadays; nor does the Cessna M2.

Look at the statistics. Having a 2nd engine offers no additional margin of safety.

@@BizJetTV Thanks, I have heard stories about lack of parts availability.
@@ralphsmith242 How's the market & demand for PC24 in Aus (apart from medic use)?
This dude didn’t answer the question. Instead, he just rants 5 minutes using his limited anecdotal experience.
