You can do amazing things in a turboprop, 1:1 decents, barbers pole at 5nm and land with a stabilized approach.
Let's say VMO is 240kt. Therefore a 1:1 = 4000fpm @ 240kt. Maintain this to 5nm (or 5000ft for a 1:1 profile), and be stable?

Let's say VREF is 120kt. That would require a ROD of 2000fpm. Can't see how one could be stable if flying a constant 1:1 profile.

What turboprop aircraft would that be in? I really would like to know
