Which Should You Buy: Socata TBM 940 or Beechcraft King Air 350?
Bottom line: Choose the TBM for speed (~330 kt), the lowest single-turboprop operating cost and owner-flown simplicity. Choose the King Air 350 for twin-engine redundancy, a larger cabin-class cabin and the established operator/charter pedigree — more cabin and redundancy at higher operating cost. ================================================================ # CROSS-REFS ================================================================ - PC-12 vs TBM mirrored from `daher/`; King Air pairs mirrored from `beechcraft/`. - Turbine-single step-up from high-performance pistons (SR22/Bonanza) → PC-12/TBM: see those brand files.
