Fairchild Swearingen Metro
The Metro is the 19-passenger commuter airliner of the Swearingen and Fairchild line: a low-wing twin turboprop with Garrett TPE331 engines and a long, slim fuselage, certified for a crew of one pilot. The FAA data sheets run from the SA226-TC through the SA227-AC, -PC and -BC to the SA227-CC and SA227-DC, approved in 1990, and every one of them files under the ICAO code SW4, along with the Merlin IV and the military C-26. The data sheet rates its cabin floor for cargo as well as passengers.
