Never understood the mentality of some people. Take the PC12, not much change from $5 million and one engine ? probably to save a few gallons of Jet A1 but ignoring the depreciation which from new to 3 years old would be massive.
Twins have died a death maybe to be replaced by Cirrus using the chute as a great marketing strategy against the lack of the second engine and they are doing the same with the Cirrus single engined jet
But Avgas guzzling twins are becoming relics of a past era
Singles ? There is still life there for the guy who cannot afford $1 million on a new single or the depreciation involved which far outways any extra fuel cost
