Kindly, I’m a cirrus pilot (G5,2014) interested in PA42 world; I’d like to know more in detail about the exact cost of operating PA42, in details … How much is the hot section, overhaul for each: dash21,34/35, meridian 42a please
So Joe and Deanna, with my 550c Malibu I can do 205 to 210 LOP (15 gph) or 230 at ROP (22gph). On the same 2 hour flight I’m just a few mins behind the Jetprop. However, my real advantage is that I can go a lot further non-stop than either the -21 or -35 with a lot more payload. My mission is fairly regularly 850-1000nm with 5 of 6 seats full. And, I keep full volume on my front baggage bay as compared to the more limited Jetprop bay. So what is the allure to these Jetprops? I just don’t understand it. As I’ve mentioned before, my reliability over 8+ years of ownership has been just as good as the Jetprop and my overhaul costs are much lower. I’ve thought numerous times about upgrading, but each time I do, I just can’t make the numbers make sense for me.
One of the main reasons I am looking at the jetprop is the length of my private airstrip. Sure a lot of jetprops appeal otherwise is pure indulgence......
Thanks for the episode Joe and Deanna… the Jetprop designators come from Latin… D = 500, L= 50, X=10, so DL=550 and DLX=560… can you comment on full fuel load differences between the -21 and -34/-35?
Thanks for the orientation about the PT6 dash ….
It was a matrix to me before 😂

Uh, RELIABILITY? What's my life worth?
@@joncox9719check out the facts rather than making a blank statement on reliability.
Meridians are my fav!!

Great advice. Thanks Joe and Deanna
