Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Differences between variants
History
- 2015First flight
- 2019 - More than 15 years of development and two bankruptcies before certification in 2019
The E1000 program began in 2003 as a certified evolution of the experimental Epic LT kit, but faced two bankruptcy filings by Epic Aircraft (in 2009 and 2010) that nearly ended the project. After the acquisition by Engineering LLC (a Russian-Kazakh group) in 2012, development resumed and the FAA finally granted the type certificate in November 2019. In 2022 Epic launched the GX version with cabin improvements, updated G1000 NXi avionics and standard autothrottle.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
333 kt makes it the fastest single-engine turboprop in production
With 1,200 SHP from the PT6A-67A and an all-composite fuselage with a swept wing, the E1000 reaches 333 kt true airspeed in cruise at FL340, surpassing the TBM 960 (330 kt) and the PC-12 NGX (290 kt). This brings it close to the entry-level jet frontier (Vision Jet 311 kt, HondaJet 422 kt) and allows 1,500+ nm missions in times comparable to small jets, with turboprop operations.
All-composite fuselage reduces weight and maximizes payload-range
Unlike the TBM (conventional aluminum) and PC-12 (aluminum with composite sections), the E1000 has a fully composite fuselage. This allows keeping MTOW at 8,000 lb within the single-engine limit (no type rating) while delivering superior useful payload and a roomier cabin. It also reduces corrosion-related maintenance, a critical advantage for operators in coastal or humid tropical environments like Brazil.
Autothrottle and G1000 NXi reduce single-pilot workload
The GX version brings autothrottle integrated with the Garmin GFC 700, a feature rare in single-engine turboprops and usually exclusive to jets. Combined with synthetic vision, ESP (Electronic Stability Protection) and envelope protection, the E1000 positions itself as the turboprop with the lowest single-pilot workload today, attracting owner-pilots moving up from high-performance piston aircraft or the Cirrus SR22T.
Limitations
Small cabin and limited baggage vs PC-12
Despite the high performance, the E1000's cabin with 5 passenger seats, 18 cuft of baggage and a height of 1.42 m is significantly smaller than the PC-12 NGX's (up to 8 pax, a roomy cabin with a cargo door). For executive missions with large families or combined cargo, the PC-12 keeps the versatility advantage. The E1000 is optimized for owner-operators on high-speed missions with 4-5 pax.
Curiosities
Originally an experimental kit, a legacy of the Epic LT
The E1000 derives directly from the Epic LT, an experimental kit sold to amateur builders in the US since 2005, in the experimental category, with approximately 50 units built by owner-builders before Epic decided to pursue FAA certification of the Type Certificated version. Some characteristics of the Epic LT remain in the E1000 (cabin configuration, aerodynamic profile), but the structure, systems and avionics were completely redesigned to meet the Part 23 commuter category.
