TAS was 323, which was almost exactly inline with book. Cold weather rules. 323KTAS is pretty good for being in a 90 degree bank.

Why does a TBM tread as to turn to the MU2?
The guy is buying a TBM, why would he want an MU2?

Not really, I know a lot of guys that wanted to buy a Meridian and they have TBMs now. Never heard of anyone that wanted a TBM or Meridian that bought an MU2? Username Protected wrote: Why does a TBM tread as to turn to the MU2?

If you are flying more plane than you need, you are just throwing money out the exhaust stacks  The extra 2 million that I have invested instead of buying a TBM 930 and going a little slower in my M500, with the help of the Trump train, will cover all of my flying expenses for at least the next 2 years 262 KTAS on 250 pph (37gph), The Meridian is the Prius version of the TP Attachment: FF.jpg

It might be Michael, if its fit your mission but it does not for me. If your the type that flys with you and your wife and like to do 3 hrs leg then the Meridian/m500 might be for you. The extra 2m that you invest in the 930 you will get it back when you resell.
