Please add 3 important points : (1) maximum cabin height for passengers (not being anle to decently stand up in a plane makes any trip tiring), (2) stability of the aircraft in rough weather and (3) length and type of runway needed for take-off and landing. Without these 3 points, how can one decently compare different aircraft ? Thank you.
We fly a Cessna 441 Conquest II. Our chirp laughs at his friends flying King Air's as he slides past them with a 30 knot speed advantage. He loves those Garrett dash 10s. Make her climb like an angel.
You started the video discussing top picks for business/personal use. In the game of "Which One Doesn't Belong", you went wildly off base with the Dash-8. As others have pointed out, the TBM 940 or Epic E1000gx would have made more sense of apples to apples.
When you first hear a P-190 in the sky, your head will snap up to find it. When you see it, your mouth will drop. It is the most distinctive aircraft, period ! There was a company that brought a fleet into the San Francisco airports: San Carlos for SFO, Oakland, and San Jose. Suddenly, they stopped flying. I sure miss watching them!
The TBN 940 ($4.1 million) is my favorite turbo prop (not listed here). It's the only plane I know that can land by itself without pilot input should the pilot become incapacitated.
I'm a retired Navy Flyer who was used to cruising at FL400 & 400KIAS in my squadron's Lockheed S-3 Viking aircraft when practicing airways training when back home from deployment at the Naval Air Station. As a new subscriber, I was pleased to watch your Top 5 Private Jets & Top 5 Private Turboprops vids. As I've been a fan of the Piaggio P.180/EVO Avanti II twin-engine for some time, I was pleased to see it in the #1 position of your private turboprop ratings. I'm also a recent fan of the private Celera 500L single-engine ultra-modern V12 diesel/Jet A pusher, and would love to see these 2 compared. I suggest in your vids of these private jet & TP aircraft that you pay particular attention to the ranges and maximum cruising altitude/FL of each aircraft as advertised by the manufacturers, as well as the max cruise speed. I'd also like to see the Avanti II & Celera 500L compared to the private jets. Friends who are airline pilots advise me that the range, max cruise speed & max cruise altitude are not the only important measures of an aircraft. They maintain that the PT-6 in the Avanti II hasn't a good climb performance compared to the jets, gives a very slow time to complete climb out comparatively, thus affecting the range. I assume that this may be a concern for the Celera pusher, as well, but not really sure. Would love to have your perspective on these concerns. Thanks for some really interesting video!
IMHO, You have a mixed class of turboprops here, and left out the number 1 altogether.. For single engine/1 pilot I would select the TBM 9xx as number 1, Pilatus PC12 number 2, Cessna Denali 3, Piper PA46/M600 4 and maybe the King Air 260 5, although the King Air is a twin and different class. The Dash 8 is a commercial plane with higher capacity that fly's scheduled routes. The Piaggio is a low volume twin of I think higher capacity, although I'm not very familiar with them. But the first 5 are the ones for personal/ business use. Hope that helps. 8) Again, JMHO --gary
The Dash 8 seems out of place in this, but the other assessments were very good. We are looking to go to a turboprop and due to the quiet and size of the cabin the Avanti is in our consideration. Maintenance, and support will be the deal breaker, we are still evaluating. Of course the speed and efficiency of the Avanti is unmatched. I used to work these as an Air Traffic Controller (Washington ARTCC) and was amazed at the performance.
Pity l am not a multi millionaire as the Piaggio Avanti would be on my shopping list . Takes the fabulous Italians to design an amazing looking aircraft. Well done . Designed 4 Europe & the Americas. Unfortunately wouldn't get me from Australia to those destinations without a few lay overs . Other than that its perfect 😀👏👏
I'd like to see Pilatus pick up from where Piaggio left off. the Avanti Evo had a lot to offer, and Pilatus could have worked out the kinks and improved the craftsmanship that Piaggio missed, as well as beefing up parts support.
What specifically do you think was lacking in Piaggio’s craftsmanship? I’ve never heard anyone complain about that before. Plus they are still in production (barely, I’ll admit) so talking like Piaggio is gone is premature.
As an ex Q400 driver I can tell you that you’re 10 knots slow on the Q400. It can do 370 KTAS, although you are riding up a bit close against the speed limit, so yes 360 is what’s usually seen. It’s an amazing aircraft in terms of performance, but awful in turbulence (feels like you’re in a washing machine) and not a well designed aircraft for pilot ergonomics. Bombardier wanted to keep the design commonality with the 100/200/300 in order to maintain a common type rating. A pity, as no one uses it really.
@@jamesmcpeake3235 that’s fantastic! Would love to get my hands on one someday. I read somewhere that the P180 is slow in climb though so block times suffer? Standard climb in the Q400 is 210 KIAS but high speed climb of 235 is often used (in both cases reducing at higher altitudes). The Q400 easily overspeeds even on one engine so plenty of attention needs to be paid to power management and it’s slippery as heck, unlike most turboprops. The propellers acting as big drag discs just doesn’t happen due to the blade angle at flight idle essentially creating very little drag. Deceleration for 250KIAS below A100 usually starts at around 12,000 feet or higher if you’re heavy and particularly with tailwind. Anyway enough from me. Thanks for sharing!
I liked the part where you said the -8 400/Q400 had noise reduction. Honestly this is the one aircraft I would not fly in anymore without having my noise cancelling headphones
In your commentary you say the Piaggio Avanti Evo range is 2759 nautical miles, (you mean kilometres) In your information you get it correct it's range is actually 1490 nautical miles. New York to San Francisco is 2247 nautical miles
The TBM 940 should have been right up there, the Epic also. I have no idea what the Dash 8-400 was doing on the list, yes its quick but is it relevant in this company?. A highly capable plane that gets overlooked even though it has the measure of much of the King Air range is the Fairchild Merlin 3c carries more further and faster than most, and from the 70,s
You asked what other turbo props would be of interest and I like the Aero Commander 1000/900 twin turbo prop aircraft and its history. It is a great plane to fly and it is fast and reliable. The hardest part of the aircraft is to taxi it.
The Aero Commander 1000/900 is indeed an intriguing twin-turboprop aircraft with a rich history. Its reputation for speed and reliability is well-known. It's interesting to hear that taxiing can be a challenge - any tips or memorable experiences you'd like to share about flying it?

The choice between the Dash-8 and the TBM series would depend on the specific mission and requirements. While the Dash-8 is a regional aircraft known for its capacity, the TBM series is renowned for its speed and agility. Do you have a particular mission or context in mind where you think one of these aircraft might be a better fit, or are you interested in comparing them for a specific purpose?
It would be nice to know the Take-off and Landing Distance required! Also can the Piaggio Evo take off and land on a Non-Finished Runway like the Pilatus 12 & 24 can? 🤔
The Otto Celera 500L will eat all of these for lunch. At a cruise speed of 400 knots and a range of 4500 nautical miles at 30000 feet nobody else will touch it. Not only that but it sips fuel at about 10L/100k.
Scaling up the P.180 could be a game-changer for regional flights. What do you think would be the biggest challenge in making it work at a sensible price?
The Evo New York too San Fran none stop at what Speed? And yes the 940 and Epic , were are they? Is the Q400 presented in Exec config. If so waht is the range?
The Piaggio most certainly does not have a range of 2,700nm. It does have a range of 1,700nm, requiring one fuel stop to travel between NYC and San Fran. Also, no TBM? Poor research on the part of this video's creator.
Thank you! I was looking for someone else to have posted this error before doing it myself. Overstating the Piaggio’s range by over 1000 nm is egregious. Even so, the Piaggio would still be my top choice as well. It is a fabulous aircraft for many reasons. It does need some upgrades to its avionics, needs auto-throttle (P&W’s fault), and external serviceability for the toilet, etc. these may never happen as the company is struggling financially. They need a deep pockets buyer to take over and make these upgrades, possibly switching to an engine company that will give them auto-throttle if P&W won’t (which is too bad because P&W has the reliability). But the Piaggio has the speed, efficiency, passenger space, and range that no other plane in its class has. Nothing else comes close.
The range of the Piaggio Avanti Evo you stated had 2700 nm range, I think is incorrect unless this year they improved the range from 1700 sm miles to 2700 nm? I have always liked the Piaggio design.
Thank you for pointing that out! You are correct; the Piaggio Avanti Evo indeed has a range of approximately 1,490 nautical miles (nm), and not 2,700. But it does have the equivalent 2,795 kilometers of range. I appreciate your attention to detail and your fondness for the Piaggio design. Which other turboprops would you like us to feature next?
Yes you miss out the SAAB 2000.... But you say that the PIAGGIO AVANTI P180 EVO flew from NEW YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO 2759 NAUTICAL MILES, BUT WITH HOW MANY PASSENGERS AND CREW AND BAGGAGE???
That's right, I haven't had the chance to look at the SAAB 2000 yet, but would love to feature it in future videos. As for the Piaggio Avanti P180 Evo's flight range, I forgot to mention that it's possible with a single stop at full load since the total distance is 4,139 km. The P180's range is actually 2,795 kilometers and not in nautical miles. Sorry for that oversight! What other features of the P180 stood out to you the most?

The Piaggio Avanti P180!!!Super cool,fast and cost effective.
Indeed!
I would say the TBM 940 should be on the list.
Agree
And the Epic E1000- both should be featured…
We fly a Cessna 441 Conquest II. Our chirp laughs at his friends flying King Air's as he slides past them with a 30 knot speed advantage. He loves those Garrett dash 10s. Make her climb like an angel.
The TBM 940 with a speed of 330 knots/380 MPH would be the 2nd fastest on the List.
Agree
With considerably lower operating costs as well.
Epic E1000 too.
None of them even come close to the Otto Celera 500L.
Piaggio started with building vespa scooters from WW2 aircraft scratch , finished by building the most efficient aircraft .
they haven't finished, lol
You started the video discussing top picks for business/personal use. In the game of "Which One Doesn't Belong", you went wildly off base with the Dash-8. As others have pointed out, the TBM 940 or Epic E1000gx would have made more sense of apples to apples.
Not a bad list. Very surprised that the TBM 940 is not on it with it's speed of 330 knots.
Its French.
The EVO is my favorite. Great Vid. Thanks
Good choice! Thanks for watching!
Now that the Epic has received certification, it definitely makes this list. As does the TBM940. Nice video though.
The Piper M600 and the Piaggo Avanti Evo are my top picks. Great presentation.
Excellent choice of aircraft! Thanks for dropping by!
The Avanti will be on my list, after the winning PowerBall ticket.
I'll go for Piaggio Evo.Thanks a lot for your time and patience.
Thank you for watching!
The Evo is fine, but good luck with parts support.
i fly the EVO - to what part shortage do you refer ................... have found NO such difficulties

Suddenly, they stopped flying. I sure miss watching them!
Interesting. I am surprised the EPIC wasn't there too. The Piaggio is fabulous, and I also liked the Piper M600.
Dropping two of the best Turboprops just doesn't feel right and destroys credibility. They are both two of the fastest single engine Turboprops
How can you possibly omit the TBM?? 🥴
Yes my favorite TBM
agreed, even more since I think their ending the King Air production
Probably known maintenance issues...
@@hendersona49 huh??
@@BigSky71 Becsuse of issues with the plane!!! The only TBM I know of keeps having oil leaking issues.

The TBN 940 ($4.1 million) is my favorite turbo prop (not listed here). It's the only plane I know that can land by itself without pilot input should the pilot become incapacitated.
The Mooney M600 can also auto-land. It’s a Garmin feature, not a Daher feature. It was put into the M600 prior to the TBM 940.
My toilet seat also can auto land
I believe it’s available on the Piper too?

In my country there's a PA 42-1000 that cruises around 400 knots

Description should include climb rate and cruise ceiling.
@RandyOrdonez Yes, performance characteristics should include climb rate, cruise ceiling, cruise airspeed, range.
My favorite fastest turboprop aircraft is a Daher TBM 940.
Love somach
Super … 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
My top pick P180 wonder what you will choice
You're missing the Tu-95... unless you add a word to your title... :-)
Cheyenne 400LS should be on the list.
It would be nice to know the Take-off and Landing Distance required!
Also can the Piaggio Evo take off and land on a Non-Finished Runway like the Pilatus 12 & 24 can? 🤔
The Otto Celera 500L will eat all of these for lunch. At a cruise speed of 400 knots and a range of 4500 nautical miles at 30000 feet nobody else will touch it. Not only that but it sips fuel at about 10L/100k.
Scale up the P.180 to take about 75 passengers and you have a winner if it can be done at a sensible price.
Scaling up the P.180 could be a game-changer for regional flights. What do you think would be the biggest challenge in making it work at a sensible price?
The Evo New York too San Fran none stop at what Speed?
And yes the 940 and Epic , were are they?
Is the Q400 presented in Exec config. If so waht is the range?
I am puzzled why you did not include or mention the TBM 940.
the piagio duck is top (saussisse volante fantastique 700km/h :))))))))
The Piaggio most certainly does not have a range of 2,700nm. It does have a range of 1,700nm, requiring one fuel stop to travel between NYC and San Fran.
Also, no TBM?
Poor research on the part of this video's creator.
Thank you! I was looking for someone else to have posted this error before doing it myself. Overstating the Piaggio’s range by over 1000 nm is egregious. Even so, the Piaggio would still be my top choice as well. It is a fabulous aircraft for many reasons. It does need some upgrades to its avionics, needs auto-throttle (P&W’s fault), and external serviceability for the toilet, etc. these may never happen as the company is struggling financially. They need a deep pockets buyer to take over and make these upgrades, possibly switching to an engine company that will give them auto-throttle if P&W won’t (which is too bad because P&W has the reliability). But the Piaggio has the speed, efficiency, passenger space, and range that no other plane in its class has. Nothing else comes close.
Is the Piaggio Avanti EVO in production, or is the company bust?
It's in production.
I have heard Piaggio Aero is on the market and looking for a buyer.
😎Avanti Evo...😎, not too shubby!
Tupolev Tu-95 "The Bear" 4 turboprop engines a 15000 hp each. Speed 925 km/h or 575 mph or 499 kn !!!
The range of the Piaggio Avanti Evo you stated had 2700 nm range, I think is incorrect unless this year they improved the range from 1700 sm miles to 2700 nm? I have always liked the Piaggio design.
Thank you for pointing that out! You are correct; the Piaggio Avanti Evo indeed has a range of approximately 1,490 nautical miles (nm), and not 2,700. But it does have the equivalent 2,795 kilometers of range. I appreciate your attention to detail and your fondness for the Piaggio design. Which other turboprops would you like us to feature next?
Good summery of TP s but Epic needs a mention !
Thanks for comment! Yes, I guess I was just not very familiar with Epic Aircraft yet!
TBM 900 series is obviously omitted. Nice video though
My bad.
What is the Piaggio's record on reliability and maintenance?
Yes you miss out the SAAB 2000....
But you say that the PIAGGIO AVANTI P180 EVO flew from NEW YORK TO SAN FRANCISCO 2759 NAUTICAL MILES, BUT WITH HOW MANY PASSENGERS AND CREW AND BAGGAGE???
That's right, I haven't had the chance to look at the SAAB 2000 yet, but would love to feature it in future videos. As for the Piaggio Avanti P180 Evo's flight range, I forgot to mention that it's possible with a single stop at full load since the total distance is 4,139 km. The P180's range is actually 2,795 kilometers and not in nautical miles. Sorry for that oversight! What other features of the P180 stood out to you the most?
Why was the Dash 8 in here and the TBM isn't.
You didnt mention fuel efficiency. Some latest airbus jets can deliver 120 mpg per seat fuel efficiency, so how about these turbo props
You missed the Epic 3000 as a fast single engined turboprop!
Is Piaggio still in business?
assume you're going for still in production aircraft.
I thought the EVO went bangrupt, Well the Company behind it that is?
Sorry but King Air should be #2. Great video anyway!
Fair enough. Thanks for watching!
You missed out the TBM 940 etc
Chief pilot.
Why not including the TBM 940?
The dash 8 is a different class.
Where are the Daher TBM 9xx series ?!
