Piper M600 for CAT under AOC

Hi there,

As you may know, last year Piper released a new version of the PA-46, the M600 powered by a PT6 engine. Its performance, range and max weight has been improved and it can now carry 5 adult people with baggage to a 1,000NM destination. This aircraft is not considered either as a top performer for private flyers or a very interesting alternative to the TBM o PC-12 for Commercial Air Transport since its acquisition and operating costs are less costly.
Moreover, new EASA rules allow single pilot operations for Singe Engine Turbine aicraft for commercial operations.

What do you think? is this aicraft a game changer? New era for the SET aicraft?
