This aircraft’s popularity is proven by the fact that more than 1,700 units have already been made. Single-engine turboprops have three basic advantages. Besides their lower running costs, they are able to take off and land on short, grassy surfaces. Departing from a field in the Austrian alps to head to a large international airport is a typical journey for this plane. Last but not least, this aircraft combines a large load capacity with an extremely long range. Our company is the only one in the Czech Republic to receive an AOC (air operator certificate) to operate this kind of plane which required a long period of preparation including programming our own application to ensure the operation of the aircraft on an airport taxiway and providing information to the pilot regarding airports they can safely glide to should a problem arise.
