I now own a PA28R201T, Piper Turbo Arrow III. It is a great plane
(although, as some of you know, I have had more than my share of "challenges"). At altitude it cruises at 170 knots. Cost to operate is around $90/hour (figuring maintenance and such). My range requirement is 660nm with 45 minutes of fuel left offer. I most often fly it single-pilot IFR. Lately, I have begun thinking about the next step up, which I am planning for 2 years from now...but one can't start too early to consider options. So, here are my goals. Range: 600nm with IFR reserve Speed: 250 knots or better Ceiling: 25,000 or better (Pressurized Cabin) Passengers: 4 seater Operating Cost: Would prefer round trip, 1320nm, cost less than $1000 Budget: $500K Suggestions would be most welcome. I would like to narrow the search down to 2 or 3 that comes as close as possible to my requirements. Is a turbo-prop out of the question? Thanks in advance. -Sami N2057M, Piper Turbo Arrow III |
