Hi
There is no twin that is a "low maintainence aircraft with good operating
costs".
A 172 does qualify, though; Find a car that will go as fast with the same
mileage.
But the trips that would be over in a day with a Baron take two in a 172
(But at a fraction of the cost. ;^) )
I drove a P Baron for quite a few years and if you want to spend the bucks,
they kick ass.

Hi all,

I'm a private pilot who works for a company (as a programmer, not a pilot,
unfortunately) that is starting to think about getting our own light twin
for both transport of people or our product, so I'm starting to look at
different aircraft that might be suitable. (as well as finishing my
instrument, getting my commercial) I was hoping some might have
suggestions
about what aircraft they might recommend. 6 seats, ~1200 lbs useful load,
a
range of around 600nm, and a crusing speed of around 160+??? In paticular
it
needs to be a low maintainence aircraft with good operating costs. Since
obviously I don't have my multi yet, I know very little about twins.

Is there any website out there that compares aircraft on this sort of
basis?
I know that when I was looking at getting a 172, I found a site which
compared all the models since they first came out (in terms of
reliability,
the different engines, slight differnces in the airframe, etc).

Thanks for any help!
