Next step - turboprop vs twin

Issue is I don’t have much free time to manage the maintenance myself. I’d rather overpay someone competent and professional, and spend my time trying to make more money in what I’m specialist with :)

My understanding is legally one can do pretty much the same under Part-M Light

Isn’t Part-ML limited to max 2730kg MTOW? All TBM over that.

100hrs in the SR22 costing how much? Someone posted €60k for 200hrs.
Much of the premium will be hull value, so the detail matters massively. One-liners just aren’t possible

They are possible, with the premium being around the equivalent of 100 hours in an SR22T, just as I wrote.

Indeed. However, a new TBM comes with 5 year worry free maintenance and warranty anyway… so all will be managed by a CAO.

The licensing rules are the simplest and cheapest thing to sort on private ownership, especially, if one is looking at heavy stuff (+5.7T, Jets, turboprops…). However, anything that falls under NCC is no go for a private pilot due to heavy paperwork, audits and compliance rules and operational limitations that comes with that (e.g. runway length)

It’s not just money, even motivated owners have sold VisonJet, Citation, Mustang…due to Part91 → NCC

What’s the point of having a jet if you can’t take it to LaBaule or Lausanne?
You can use Geneva or Nantes, sitting in the back of the queue !

There is a reason why people get JetProp, TBM

Darn, you are right.

So any tbm has to be NCC?

NCO for operation and CAMO/Part-M for maintenance (you will have it in ATO at some point, they will tell you what maintenance they require)

No, that one is still NCO – for NCC it has to be “one or more Jet engines”, so not a SETP

EGTR

So there is still a advantage to having an N reg TBM over G reg or EASA?
