For the very limited comparison of Mustang versus TBM, the ratio is roughly 10 to 1.

480 mustangs, 1 fatal.

930 TBMs, 19 fatals.

I did a cursory review of total times on controller.com for Mustang and TBM and I came away with the impression that the aircraft are used about the same number of hours and in similar kinds of service.

Facinating analysis - thanks Mike.

I think they said it still climbed out at 1,000'/minute on TO with 9,200lb's on board.

Made a bit over 1000 FPM at the start, about 34 minutes to FL300.

Don't they have to participate in the North Atlantic Track (NAT) system to do this flight? I thought that came with all sorts of equipment and LOA requirements.

Obviously, this isn't a practical flight for transportation.

Nope it’s a world record in class that had stood, Chuck Yeager, since 1985.
Actually an adventure and not a normal mode of travel to Europe. Believe the owner though quite frequently uses a more conventional routing back and forth to Europe in his TBM.

“C1-e Category II, i.e. turboprop 3000-6000kg land plane. The record was held from 1985 until today by Chuck Yeager in a Cheyenne 400 LS”
