    The Duke is a stunningly expensive aircraft to operate, and you only get to fly it 11 months of any given year: Annual inspection (and repairs) will always take at least 1 month. This is a good video: Informative and entertaining

    Get a C182 fixed gear, and you will have a much better experience owning your own aircraft. The Duke my company bought needed an engine right off the bat. The owners bought another “tired” Duke while it got repairs done. Part of their problem though was, they rushed into the purchase, and ignored our recommendation of a Baron 58.

      Yes. The number of seats is GA planes if limited to how many they can fit in. Not how many people they can carry. Duke has similar performance to all these other planes and similar or even better carrying capacity.

    • @msr358
      @msr358 2 года назад +1

      Hi. The TSIO541 is considered a bit fragile in being more highly stressed to produce 380hp from an engine that typically makes 350 in the PA31 Chieftain. The cylinders are liquid cooled, a unique feature of the 541. Ham-fisted operation of the engines will usually result in a bent crankshaft or a blown / seized turbo. Running with incorrect mixtures will blow holes in pistons and burn valves. They are fine if operated correctly but are not generally considered suitable for the charter market where you have a constant stream of junior pilots coming through to make their hours and then bugger off to the big shiny jet. As a personal or corporate aircraft with one or two experienced, well trained pilots - no problem. They are pretty expensive though, almost better off either downsizing to a Baron or stepping up to a Kingair.

    @s4aviator804 2 года назад +1

    I love the concept of this channel, but the figures you cite here are drastically low. Annuals on this airplane are going to regularly run twice the quoted value, and the overwhelming majority of owner pilots are going to be paying $13K-$16K to insure it. In terms of the DOC's, fuel right now is going to be closer to $300/hr, and engine reserves are closer to 100hr with current overhaul prices. It's more like $1650/hr on 50hrs per year, $1100/hr on 100hrs per year, and $850/hr on 200hrs per year.
