I'm an retired Navy pilot with lots of time (6000)--but nothing in the past 15 years--but my children are now moving all over the country and I'd like to get back into the air to visit them. I know little about the general aviation market or products but I'm partial to twin engines if only because they gives you an option when the weather deteriorates and so does one engine. I'm looking for the following:
reliable and affordable--under $200K 4-passenger capability (real passengers--none of my kids are under 6') twin preferred--or logic why a single engine is not really an emergency range: 1000 NM speed: 160 KIAS + pressurized cabin (a preference but not a requirement) reasonable IFR package--but state of the art not needed Some idea of annual maintenance costs I need to be planning on What aircraft would you recommend I be looking into? Thanks from general aviation rookie with less than 50 hours of Cesnna 150 time from the 1960s. |
