About the Mitsubishi MU-2B-25

The Mitsubishi MU-2 is a high-performance twin-turboprop business aircraft that earned a reputation as one of the fastest and most efficient light twins ever built, cruising at speeds approaching 300 knots—comparable to many light jets. Manufactured in Japan from 1963 through 1986, the MU-2 family was unusual for its era in featuring full-span double-slotted flaps, spoilers instead of ailerons for roll control, and no engine feathering capability, making it a demanding aircraft that required specialized training. The -25 variant, produced in the late 1970s, represents the long-fuselage version with increased cabin space and a maximum takeoff weight of 11,575 pounds, powered by twin Garrett TPE331 engines producing 724 shaft horsepower each.

The type's combination of speed, payload, and short-field performance made it popular for cargo operations, air ambulance work, and corporate transport, though its unforgiving handling characteristics led the FAA to mandate Special Federal Aviation Regulation 108 in 2008, requiring type-specific training for all MU-2 pilots—the only civilian aircraft ever subjected to such a rule. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
