Piaggio Avanti P180 -

41,000 Feet

If its cold and you are light.

390 knots high speed Cruise - but normally about 360-365 at 330


If its cold


1700 + nm Range w/ IFR reserves

Not likely. NBAA IFR range is listed at 1400nm and again only at ISA.

Burns around 280/side at altitude (410)



But you can't reach 410 very often because it is usually ISA+10

We can do SF or L. Angeles to NJ non-stop with a nice tailwind...


No way.

Can land on a 2300 foot runway if you're good


Piaggio claims 3000' at sea level and 77F (ISA+10) anyway you couldn't take
off again.


Perfect safety record - Never an injury or fatality -

Only a few ezamples flying

In spite of the above, it is one of the best from a number of standpoints.
I have come close to buying one twice.
