Cabin Class?

After a few thousand hours in King Airs, I would agree with
the hunch. The 1900D is more comfortable.

up" cabin is the

| Most twin turboprops are "cabin class" (ie, King Air) but
their cabin height

than "stand up"

Cabin Class is the class of homeowner you become after you're forced to sell
your house to pay for owning the airplane (or because your wife kicked you
out of the house after you bought the airplane).
VLJ are known as "Tent Class" aircraft,
Citations/Lears/Hawkers are known as "VFMHS Class" (very fast mobile
homeless shelters)

What constitutes a cabin class aircraft? I see the term thrown around a
lot
and I wondered if it had a precise criteria or if it's just a term
aircraft
sales people throw around use loosely.

Ask a aircraft maker or a salesman to define cabin class and
you may get two different answers. Ask a charter operator
and you get a third.

That article was just what I came on first, thought I'd cite
a source other than myself.

| Nice, but that article is more of a sales promo than real
data.
|
| "A corporate flight attendant is typically utilized on a
| "cabin class" aircraft. They are larger aircraft with
| usually 19 or less seats, where you can easily get up
and
| walk around the cabin. Compared with a Westwind, Lear,
or
| Cessna, the larger jets have an aisle to walk up and
down
| upon and the headroom usually is adequate to allow easy
| passage of anyone under 6' tall." end of quote from
linked
| article.
|
| Commuter aircraft are quite different than what we're
discussing here.

No! A salesman lie? Never, sure it will carry 6 people and
baggage no-stop to Denver.

I never heard that stand-up headroom was a requirment to be termed cabin
class. [...]

Perhaps the main operational difference is whether or not the cabin is
pressurized.

The one that makes the most sense to me, is the one about everyone entering
though the same door, and going forward between the seats, to get to the
pilot's seats.

Cabin class means you can get up and walk around in flight.
