Beautiful bird. Looking to tansition to one after a few more years in my Bonanza G36. One issue, though, you have a graphic that says fly non-stop LA to Miami. At over 2,000nm even on a direct flight path, that seems to be beyond the PC-12 NG's range. NY-MIA, sure.

It's a great plane. I'm an F/O with a company that flies the PC12, and I've had the good fortune to fly an NG. The Honeywell avionics take some getting used to but are powerful once you have time using them. My only gripe is the front seats from the first generation of PC12s (45s) is better!

@lovUSAhj safety meaning? the tbm is a great pane but just as castlepoint said it's more of a sports car than a real useful everyday , every use plane, the tbm will not do grass, won't take much cargo and even if it goes a bit faster on the distances theese aircrafts are likely to fly it's not a real gain in time.
i've flown both and apart form the speed and price the tbm has no cards to play on the pc-12.
just my point of view.

@lovUSAhj Have flown both of these aircraft, but hands down the PC12 has it, specially in rotten weather and terrain. Of the 850's I have flown I find they are a little squirrely compared to the solid stable feel of the 12. To each his own though.

Hello.. Thanks for taking the time to comment. You are right, the TBM 850 is really very nice (like a little sports car).. However the PC-12 is a true cabin class airplane. 10 seats + a lavatory! Pretty amazing in every respect... Of course it can also fly quite a bit further than the TBM... Its great that there is a good market for both companies!
