About the Epic E1000

Type certificated 2019

Overview

The Epic E1000 is a six-seat, single-engine turboprop built almost entirely of carbon fiber and certificated under 14 CFR Part 23 in the Utility category. Developed from the experimental Epic LT kit airframe and FAA type-certificated in November 2019, it competes directly with the Daher TBM series and the Piper M600, trading on cruise speed and climb rate rather than short-field access.

The catalogue covers the type across its three production variants under a single record. The original 2019 E1000 was followed by the E1000 GX (2020), which added Garmin Emergency Autoland and refined the cabin and avionics, and the E1000 AX (2024), which traded a small amount of cruise for a sharp gain in useful load. All three share the airframe, certification basis, and Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67A powerplant flat-rated at 1,200 SHP; the published figures in this record follow the AX configuration as the most relevant current-production point, with the variant story kept here rather than split into separate entries. It earns the owner-pilot who wants turboprop cruise speed and a full-cabin payload from a single engine, and who will accept longer runways than a Pilatus PC-12 in exchange for the pace to fly a long cross-country in one leg.

Key Features for GA Buyers

High cruise speed. A published 333 KTAS maximum cruise places the E1000 among the fastest single-engine turboprops in production.
Strong climb. The 1,200 SHP Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67A gives an initial climb rate near 4,000 fpm, so the aircraft reaches the flight levels and smooth air quickly.
Cabin and avionics. The cabin is pressurised to 6.6 psi and runs Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, with Garmin Emergency Autoland fitted from the GX onward.
Payload utility. The AX variant’s useful load of roughly 2,860 lb is unusual in the single-engine turboprop class and lets all six seats fill without trading away fuel.

Trade-offs

Acquisition and operating cost. As a high-performance turbine, the E1000 carries turbine acquisition and operating costs that sit well above any piston alternative.
Runway requirements. Takeoff and landing distances over a 50-ft obstacle run roughly 2,200 to 2,400 ft, longer than shorter-field turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12.
Single-engine reliance. Routine operation in the flight levels rests on glide performance and engine-out procedures should the powerplant fail. Buyers who want twin redundancy for that mission look to cabin-class twin turboprops instead of the E1000.
