- Took a trip in my friend's P180 Avanti I that he recently upgraded with a brand new Garmin glass panel. Took off from HHR and headed for Denver. Pay extra attention to the fuel flows, speeds and economy of this thing - it's a marvel. Beautiful flight at mainly FL370. An absolute dream machine for me personally and my bucket list plane.

I really appreciate how you recorded real sounds of the plane.
P180 Avanti Piaggio is a head turned at any Airport,one of kind awesome looking Aircraft , Thx for share
What a gorgeous plane!
Piaggio 180, super quiet inside and loud as hell outside LOL
Annoyingly loud, it’s been banned at some airports. I hate every time I hear one fly over.😝
@@foxlake6750 Is there a list where it is banned?
I love the way it sounds move over and get out of the way
I LOVE it! What a beautiful design and an amazing piece of engineering!
Sweeeet! It's hard to find decent videos of these and I'm always hearing them buzzing out of Van Nuys.
I used to fly out of Van Nuys too. Great field, with a lot of history 16R
I am actually surprised its not a little bit quieter considering where the props are, still a very impressive aircraft.
Oh wow. These are so quick and sexy. I’m insanely jealous.
Very nice seeing the 2 GTN 750s in that panel
great video !!
I worked as a aircraft technician on avanti 2 for around 7 months, I really miss this beauty
Avanti 2's cockpit is all glass though, no analog metres if my memory is correct
I still prefer analog metres than digital ones : )
So freakin cool !! Thanks for posting.
I got my PPL way back in the day at HHR. Hardly see any video from there. Most recently our company operated a number of Metros and Merlins, but during the PPL days it was BE-200's and 414's and we once got a WWII into there, but this departure seemed like a new record for clearing the fence. Way back in the early 80's a 727 landed there by mistake, removed interior and affixed JATOS to get it back out and over to LAX. Now I remember where I picked up your channel - it was a PA-60, and then at AC-500 IIRC, or did that become a 690 later?
celera 500 taking some design cues and maxing them out for slippery laminar flow/efficiency, will be interesting what the real numbers will be on that. piaggio a slick plane!
If possible please do post more video's of the Avanti :)
It's good to see you back, thanks for the video, a sleek machine for sure but the tricky question - where's your Commander? :-)
Nice airplane. Good flight. Need more info performance. Also, where’s the famous Commander?
How about an update on the commander
Woow
Haven't seen anything from you in a while - dare I ask how you are going with the Turbo Commander?
No doubt Piaggio Avanti Evo P180 is the best TURBOPROP in the world.
🛫📿🎀
There’s a new P.180 in KEMT
I know! Been talking to the owner! He comes from a HondaJet
@@stratobee Nice! That's what he also told me.
So surprised that only 200 + Piagio 180's Evos have been sold so far after 12 years production as its such a fabulous well designed aircraft, whys that ?
Many reasons. It's unconventional looking and aircraft buyers are very conservative. Also, it was priced as a light jet (as it had similar performance), and many customers who are going to spend $7 million would then rather be seen in a true jet, as propellers still carry stigma. Also, there was here in US a skepticism against Piaggio and Italian manufacturers that played in and they worried about service and parts availability.
Today the owner/pilot customer has discovered it in the used market as a cheaper alternative to jets. Piaggio made the mistake of marketing it to charter and jet companies when they should have been targeting it to business owner/pilots from the beginning.
Did you go through ice or does the airplane have 1 window heat?
It's got an odd heating pattern. Two areas per each window, but a lot of space is unheated.
Nice Video!
Great video... Would like to know by comparison about the cabin noise against a 737 or a A21? Being that the propeller noise is pointed towards the back.
Nice video! does he still own the plane?
Ohhhh. A Garmin P180. Sweet!
Are the canards (sorry if I have the term wrong) heated by compressor air or electrically? Beautiful aircraft!!!
Electrically heated. technically they're a forward wing, as they don't have control surfaces.
Wait. what is this P180 version with Garmin panel ?? First time I ever saw one without the Rockwell/Collins. Best plane EVER.
N677P just flew over Harrisburg, PA today.
Ah ha,the flying buzz saw. Heard one fly over West Palm and I was in Texas.
I absolutely love that this P180 has the analog engine gauges of the original version, but has the Garmin glass panel upgrade. Just wish it could have auto throttle, that would be perfect, but apparently not possible. Any idea how much the Garmin upgrade cost for equipment and installation? Thanks for the great video. A bit more dwell time on the instruments to give more time to take in the info on them would be nice, but I guess I can hit pause!
Also noticed the tap tap on the left ITT gauge to get the needle to work. Is that common? Not a big deal since it has the digital numeric readout as well as the needle, but very nice to have the needle for a quick glance to make sure temp is in proper range.
@@HQBergeron I think he is gently pointing at the gauge he is actually cheking
@@HQBergeron I noticed the double tap too. Sticky gauge? 01:30
If you had to compare operating cost between the Piaggio P-180 and the Commander 680V. Which one is better?
This one costs more. But it also perform a lot better.
Il colpetto con il dito sullo strumento, per far muovere la lancetta,non è di buon augurio....
🤣🤣
Anyone got any ownership feed back on these ? I’m in Uk and was considering one but there little or none around and I’ve been told to avoid them
Did this just flew 452 miles per hour at FL370 over Grand Canyon??
Do anther one showing more of the performance.
I always wanted to,know the interior noise…we all know the destint outside.
The piaggio p 180 reduces outer noise a lot
Your friend owns it, maintenance wise, what does he compares is to
It's on par with a Mustang or VLJ. About $1000-1200/hr plane. The most expensive thing on these is the gear inspection every 12 years. It's very expensive. But fortunately, if you're part 91, you don't have to comply with that. Also, these are "big block" PT6's and they are expensive to overhaul. But the great economy comes in it's performance. You simply can't find anything that does 370kts on 460pph total and carries 9 people in stand-up cabin.
@@stratobee wow, those specs are almost identical to an Eclipse 500 but the 180 has significantly more passenger room! What a great plane.
Neat airplanes, but product support is a nightmare.
Why is product support a nightmare?
The owner owned a MU-2 Solitaire
Hey Adam - Great video. Sent you a message on the Commander owners forum. If you can get me in touch with you friend I would appreciate it. I have a Turbo Commander 690B and I made an offer on Avanti II would love to connect with a couple of owners.
🛫📿🎀
I'm sure the 'rona didn't help things, but are you closer to having your Commander back in the air?
My favorite Aircraft 4 interstate travel in Australia. Not 2 sure how it woulld do on an international travel. Most probably not enough distance unfortunately.
@1:14, old avionics. Too many steam gages. Piaggio should quickly install Garmin G3000 to this superb aircraft. The P180 deserves it.
it needs autothrottle and autopitch as well...and the props can be upgraded to 7 blades for more speed...and they could give it more range say 2200nm to get to hawaii and whatnot...
@@MariktheWolf ::: 7 blades is a bit much. Marginal gain not worth the extra weight and cash. The current 5 blade scimitar is great. Going transcontinental is more popular than going to Hawaii - The P180 does it well.

Too bad Piaggio is going out of business
Too bad she was crashed in 2020 during a landing in Colorado.
Think it just had a runway excursion in bad weather and bent a wing tip. She's been back flying for awhile.
@@stratobee oh good!!
