-Technically a jet, though not in the way the popular press likes to categorise them.
Good news about the crew whatever.

-Good news about the crew. From my casual acquaintance with them, they do appear to be stouter than the typical SEL (as you'd expect from a pressurized aircraft).
The closest thing to a jet that most private pilots need.
A friend had one for years, even flew it to France.
When he retired he sold it, thinking he didn't need such a capable aircraft and bought successively, a very nice Bonanza A-36 and a late model Mooney.
Now, he's gone back and bought another TBM, he likes them that much...

Aircraft can be seen as M-V**B but probably not a jet. Pilot lightly injured.
