WRT turbopros, there is not a airframe limit, but there is a seat/weight limit.

40. “Permitted aircraft type” means: a. a propeller-driven aircraft configured with 70 or fewer passenger seats and with a maximum certificated gross takeoff weight in the United States of 70,000 or fewer pounds

I do think that needs to be tightened though.
