  • For pilots with growing families, a six-seat airplane can make perfect sense, you’ll be able to carry almost everything you need, and fly a little faster, higher, and farther at the lowest possible cost. A six-seat airplane whether a piston single or twin, a turboprop, or a light jet offers exceptional value. This video is not about family airplanes with the lowest fuel consumption, in no order, this video contains top 10 family airplanes that offer the best possible performance with the least amount of fuel consumption.

    Seems that you missed the PA-32 family (Cherokee 6, Lance, Saratoga line). I can carry six, but most often carry 4 people with four sets of 170 - 180 cm skis, boots, and winter gear for ski trips, or golf clubs during the summer. Club seating in the rear and a massive cargo door. Best of all, it is a single engine so maintenance / operational costs are reasonable and you can pick one up for a descent price. Recognize you are looking at aircraft currently being produced, but for many of us with families that want to fly, a current production aircraft isn't in-the-cards.

    No mention of “useful load”?! Useful Load has specific definition in aviation. Some of these planes can not make the range distance he narrates with a “family”. We’ll, if dad is a jockey, mom is a gymnast, and the only child is still an infant then maybe. But that maybe means the only luggage is a plastic bag with one change of underwear for everybody. The weight of the fuel needed to make the stated ranges takes up a significant amount of useful load and in some cases not much useful load remains for carrying anything that distance. Over the decades many people have been killed because pilots behaved like the number of seats were some indication of how much they can put in a plane. Neither max gross weight rating or number of seats tells you anything about how much a plane can carry. Only the Useful Load figure tells you. Some of these planes do not belong on a “family” plane list because of nearly useless Useful Load.

      @@Meowface. The fuel price is offset by how much the 206 can haul and by the increased safety margin and performance latitude of the turbine engine. People fly single engine over the Sierras and the ocean and large lakes all the time, but that's not something I'd recommend, especially if you're in business. Fuel cost isn't what I'd be bracing for with a turbine engine - it's the OTHER costs, like having to replace a turbine wheel or some mess. Today, when it comes to performing work - single engine turbine is hard to beat for a good work/profit ratio. Piston twin is just out of its league today. 2 thirds liability, worry, and poor performance and 1 third cheap to operate compared to turbine solutions.

    I took a short trip on a small plane once. Here's what it felt like: You're on top of a piece of plywood that's hooked up to a car being driven down a dirt road by a drunk. Never again.

    I am glad the Kennedys had a drunk 12 year old available to narrate this video.
