The fastest single in its class

A carbon-fiber turboprop, financed like its rivals

The Epic E1000 GX is an all-carbon-fiber single-engine turboprop built around a proven Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67A, delivering a class-leading ~333-knot cruise and a cabin that punches well above its price. It competes directly with the Pilatus PC-12 and the Daher TBM series — the established players in the owner-flown high-performance single-engine turboprop segment — while undercutting both on acquisition cost.

As a newer type with a smaller fleet than the PC-12 or TBM, the E1000's financing leans a little more on the specific aircraft and the borrower, and a little less on decades of comparable sales — but it absolutely finances at the turbine rate, and the segment's owner-flown, mission-driven buyer is exactly who turbine lenders want. FLYING Finance routes Epic files to lenders comfortable with high-performance single-engine turboprop collateral.

If you're cross-shopping the segment, the PC-12 and TBM have their own dedicated pages — this is the Epic conversation, for the buyer who wants the speed and the composite airframe.

The underwriting conversation

What lenders look at on an Epic

  • Newer type = specific-aircraft focus. With a smaller fleet than the PC-12 or TBM, lenders lean more on the individual aircraft's condition, equipment, and the borrower's strength, and a little less on decades of comparables. A clean, well-equipped E1000 with a strong borrower is a straightforward file.
  • PT6A engine program eligibility is a plus — the proven Pratt powerplant is exactly the kind of known quantity that reassures a turbine lender.
  • Owner-flown, mission-driven buyer — the segment's typical borrower profile (high-performance single, personal/business Part 91) is well understood and welcomed by turbine lenders.
  • Charter is uncommon in this owner-flown single-turboprop segment, so most files are clean Part 91 — but if you plan charter, the Part 91 with charter offset guide applies.

Cross-shopping the segment?

The Epic competes head-to-head with the Pilatus PC-12 and the Daher TBM. Each has its own FLYING Finance page — see Pilatus and Daher TBM — so you can compare the financing the same way you compare the airplanes.

What you'll need

Documentation, before you apply

A ready package closes an Epic in about two business days from pre-approval.

  • Serial number & specs — year, GX vs earlier, total time, engine time
  • Engine status — PT6A-67A time and any program enrollment
  • Logbook summary — damage history, inspections, avionics (Garmin G1000 NXi)
  • Intended use — almost always Part 91 owner-flown
  • Ownership entity — personal, LLC, or trust
  • Borrower financials — carries more weight on a newer type

Epic financing questions

What rate does an Epic E1000 get?+
The E1000 finances at the turbine rate — from 6.34% through FLYING Finance. As a newer type with a smaller fleet than the PC-12 or TBM, underwriting leans a bit more on the specific aircraft and borrower, but the proven PT6A powerplant and owner-flown buyer profile are exactly what turbine lenders are comfortable with. See the live rate board.
Is the Epic harder to finance than a PC-12 or TBM?+
Slightly more specific-aircraft focused, because the fleet is younger and there are fewer comparable sales — but no, it's not hard to finance. A clean, well-equipped E1000 with a strong borrower closes on standard turbine terms. FLYING Finance routes it to lenders comfortable with the type. Cross-shop the financing on the PC-12 and TBM pages.
Does the carbon-fiber airframe affect financing?+
No. The composite construction is a performance feature, not an underwriting concern — lenders care about condition, equipment, engine status, and resale, all of which the E1000 supports. It finances like any high-performance single-engine turboprop.
Can I finance a pre-owned Epic?+
Yes. Pre-owned E1000s finance at the turbine rate; the newer type means the individual aircraft's condition and equipment carry more weight in the file, and terms follow the age-plus-amortization math. Start your pre-approval.
