Aircraft 02

T7–PRM

Avanti II · 2012 · Seven seats

The same airframe and the same cabin, on a slightly earlier standard. Performance is within a few knots of the EVO and the operating cost is lower again, which makes it the right aircraft for a great many trips. Where a specific fit-out matters we will tell you which of the two suits the mission before you book.

  • Identical cabin cross-section and seating
  • Four-blade propellers, marginally higher cruise noise than the EVO
  • Same crew, same type rating, same maintenance programme
  • Typically the lower-cost option on sectors under two hours

The cabin

A foot more aeroplane than the class it competes in.

Because the main spar passes behind the passengers rather than under them, the floor is flat and the section is round. The result is the only stand-up cabin in the category, and more space per seat than any comparable turboprop or light jet.

Against the class

Jet numbers, turboprop invoice.

Cruise speed puts the Avanti alongside very light jets. Fuel burn puts it in a category of its own. Range beats the King Air it is usually shopped against.
