Now I wonder if the C209T has ASETPA sorry PSEA, if that what’s CASA calls it.

However I think I’m FIGJAM bringing this one up!

Cessna 209 POH and hire

The C209TCS is retrofitted with the crashworthy seats. It has received PSEA from CASA.

The USA allows piston single engine IFR charter - like a Cirrus. Needs dual electric gens, 50 hour oil checks and an engine monitor with dowloadable content (from memory).
