I would expect much much more for €1.2 million.
Yes…
For that price it will be a rather old TBM…
Used G1000 Meridian is in this price tag…
However a 3,5 POB when fulled up
You could also get a real airplane:
Yep, or that one has pressurized toilets (coupled with autopilot :lol: ) and is faster

(and less ugly I would say).

Pressurised, 260 KTAS, FL280 and around 1.000 FH i.e. at least 2.500 TBO while new DA50 has engine with 1.200 TBR that costs like PT6 overhaul.

:) Surely not .2M-.35M (the numbers I’ve seen for PT6 O/H)?
Or did you mean the hot section inspection?

The cost of OH of smaller PT6 (like Meridian’s -42) should be in range of 0.2M. To fly 6.000 hours in DA50 you need 5 engines – the original one plus 4 replacements – total cost 0.4M (or more). To fly 6.000 hours in Meridian you need original 2.500 plus 3.500 hours after overhaul – total cost OH plus 2 HSI 0.4M.

Is it usual for them to not have approvals of FIKI? I know that when airliners have type certs they have to stick to majority good weather conditions, presume it takes a fair few hours or flights more to get FIKI cert.

@pilotrobbie, I think it is matter of actual certification process – experiencing actual icing and proving deicing/anticing works.
In some cases FIKI requires certain mods (heated stall warner) that is not there, @Peter should be able to tell more.
