- Take a detailed look around the high-speed turboprop Jet, the Italian P180 Piaggio Avanti.
We discuss front wing design, systems, performance, cockpit, cruise speed, rear facing propeller system, seating capacity, safety features, how to land the Piaggio Avanti, and all the features of the aircraft with Emma Mcdonald, the pilot of this aircraft from team Matt Hall Racing.
You might have seen Emma also flying the Red Bull aerobatics plane at some of the biggest airshows around the world, including the Pacific airshow on the Gold Coast and in California.

Yeah, love the lady and the machine ,thanks for the jolly good show.
To my mind the most beautiful prop jet ever built.
It's downright refreshing to watch a TH-cam aviation video where the creator/interviewer has taken the time to become familiar with the topic and is able to ask intelligent, well-informed questions. Well done! It's a beautiful plane.
Hi Mike, thanks for your kind words, and I’m glad you enjoyed my video. It was certainly a nice aircraft and hopefully this company will continue to manufacture aircraft into the future.
Well done! This is my favorite private plane and the pilot was amazing. Again very well done and thank you.
Thanks Malcolmar… glad you liked my Piaggio video. It is definitely a unique aircraft, and pilot Emma was amazing to interview. She can really fly too, search her up online. She flys aerobatics in big airshows in the Red Bull Racing aircraft. If you search ‘Matt Hall Racing’, you will find her there. Thanks for watching.
@@BeSnappy You are very welcome. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful plane and really good content
What a brilliant interview by a great young Man, love the aircraft❤
Thanks Steven… glad you enjoyed my interview. It was a very interesting aircraft to explore, and Emma was really generous with her time. The only one in Australia! Thanks for watching.
Most beautiful plane ever.

The Piaggio is really pretty, but let’s not get carried away with ourselves :-)
Yes
Great video mate. Emma is a class act, glad you had the opportunity for her to give you the tour.
Thanks Nathan. Yes, Emma is absolutely a class act. So humble, yet a real insane pilot. Check her aerobatics out online if you haven’t already, she now flys the big airshows in the Red Bull aircraft. Thanks for watching.
Very well done video!
Thank you very much Daniel. I’ve got quite a few aviation interviews on my channel now if you get the time to check them out. Thanks for watching
Keep up the good work. 👍 The reason the fuselage is so smooth is because it is stretch formed and held in a mould under vacuum during assembly, which is very unusual for an aluminium skin.
That interesting information about the Piaggio Avanti fuselage… thanks for sharing that Eric. If you know any other quirks about it, please share because it’s certainly a unique aircraft. Thanks for watching my video.
Great video with nice details on the interior which is hardly shown in other vids! What an amazing airplane, been waiting patiently on FlightSim 2020 to introduce it lol, only way I can afford to fly one.
It certainly is a nice aircraft. Emma gave me a really good tour of the aircraft and I’m looking at putting out an extended version of this interview, because I had to cut some detail out to make the video a bit shorter. I’ve got quite a few other pilot/aircraft interviews on my channel that you might be interested in. Thanks for watching.
Well done keep up the hard work
That was a unique aircraft!
Great video. Well done. Not sure if these are mine, but I manufacture the seat structures inside the P180 aircraft. Love seeing videos of people checking out the interior.
They were certainly comfortable seats! Well done if you manufactured them, I wish I could sit in them more often :) .
Awesome interview and internal+ external walkaround of this lovely plane. I saw this plane (VH-ICK) parked at Cessnock Airport in December 2022.
Yes, that’s where we filmed this interview. Although Matt Hall is based in Lake Macquarie, they hangar this aircraft at Cessnock.
Italian engineers are phantastic !!!
Let me say this as a german engineer.
That is a compliment coming from a German engineer! The Italian must have gone to university in Germany (haha). Thanks for watching my video. It’s an amazing aircraft.
@@BeSnappy Hello from Germany ... I see you are a crocodile girl ! Very sympathetic.
Some additional words to Italian engineers . It's not the location of the university - it's the Italian DNA which makes them a class of it's own. It's the LOVE and DEDICATION for ELEGANCE ....design and engineering are always united.
The most beautiful sailing yachts are designed in Italy.
Perhaps you will have the chance to find one of these gems in the Australian waters for your next interview.
Have a good time Snappy !
@@BerndSchmitt-Martinique Well, the pilot was a ‘crocodile girl’, I was the other person in the video.
You couldn’t have timed your German engineering comments any better. I JUST published my latest video, and it’s in a fine piece of German equipment. I drove a $500,000 German gem. Here it is:
th-cam.com/video/ZEs7Keh75sA/w-d-xo.html
There's one of these aircraft that actually I've seen coming over Orlando and you can tell the aircraft is coming in by the sound on the engine
Oh wow. Oh wow.
Very well video.
Thank you… glad you enjoyed the video. It’s certainly a nice aircraft!
YOU'VE DONE A FINE JOB ON THIS VIDEO ! EMMA AS WELL !
Thank you David. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. Emma is an outstanding pilot and was very easy going. She rips up the sky in the Red Bull aerobatics aircraft too.
Great interview and very interesting to watch, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching my video. Certainly an interesting Aircraft and pilot. It’s the only one in Australia at this stage.
@BeSnappy absolutely mate, great to see you getting out and enjoying these events..I was looking forward to Wings over Illawarra but I think they are only holding that it once every 2 yrs now, so hopefully we can enjoy that when it's on next. I met Matt Hall at the last one and he's was great to have a chat with!
@@rcguss airshows are always entertaining. Hopefully I’ll get an interview with Matt Hall soon. Just did a short interview with the squadron leader of the roulettes… it’s in the recent video I did at the Newcastle Airshow Open Day. That was interesting too.
@@BeSnappy Yes I had a watch and found it to be quite interesting!
I have an rc model of a PC9 roulette and I love the demos that they put on in real life!
Well done Big Boy!
Thanks for watching… glad you enjoyed the video. I just published a new video today.
Wow I sure wish you could charter this from the USA!
I want one! Not the plane but Emma Mcdonald!
There's a P180 that frequents KSJC (San Jose International). I've ridden my bike under the pattern many times. The P180's sound is the most obnoxious I've ever heard, And I've been around more than s few airplanes in my time.
I would still like to fly one though!
Thanks for commenting on my video, I appreciate you watching. Yes, a lot of people say about the noise, but the ride and speed is worth it apparently. I think most pilots would like to have a fly of one of these, based on what I’m reading.
Gorgeous curves. The plane isn't bad either.
@5:31, You’re seeing an avionic from the Stone Age, the Pro-Line. Why Piaggio resists installing the Garmin G3000 is a mystery.
This is one of my favorite planes. It's a great design. I wouldn't call it the Ferrari of the skies. I would call it the Porsche of the skies. It's reliable.
I prefer Ferrari and, after all the Piaggios and the Ferraris are related!
Well done :) it is a very interesting plane, could just be even better in a carbon fiber jet version.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. Yes, it was an interesting plane and it has excellent performance. It’s the only one in Australia but plenty overseas. I just posted a video of an interview I did with a Qantas 747 and A380 pilot, where he gave me a tour of the 747-400 cockpit. Check it out if you get a moment. Thanks again.
Because ❤
It sure is a Ferrari of the Sky.
Will piaggio ever install in the p180 autthrotels?
nice video !
What a beautiful aircraft! I wish our auto instrumentation designers can learn from the cockpit instruments on aircrafts like this! Much of automotive instruments are just a hot mess of a disaster!!!
One flew over today. Very loud.
A very nice airplane but unfortunatly probably the loudest turboprop of the world restricted in some airports for this reason.
Love the Piaggio Avanti, and B.T W., the engine's are ×2 Pratt and Whitney Canada, PT 6A-66B's.
Ony Avanti in Australia 🇦🇺 eh?
Yes… only one in Australia. Nice aircraft!
@BeSnappy
How was it delivered, with the Avanti's range, an in one go, ferry flight?
@@mikemontagne2703 I believe they had to do some island hopping through the Pacific to get it here.
The P180 is the worlds fastest civilian turboprop. But, hey, check out the faster TU-95 🙂
TU 95 is a walking death trap. Don't be seen dead on one.
There is no denying the Piaggio Avanti is a gorgeous plane, but I gotta keep raining on the parade when worlds fastest turbo prop is used. It seems people keep forgetting about Russia's TU 95 Bear, which then the argument could be made it is the fastest for civilian aircraft, then I would have to direct you to the TU 114 Rossiya.
That is not any disrespect to Piaggio or the creators, simply educational.
yep, Airbus A400M is faster too
@@P51 there are several military turbo props that are faster but we were sticking to the civilian market. Although, technically speaking a lot of military planes end up in civilian auctions. It'd be great to fly yourself to your destination bringing your car with you wouldn't it.
sure. just add the word civilian and we're all good!@@recgar
Great interview for a young lad.
I'll have a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy!
Thanks Gingerjessy… glad you liked my video. Interesting sandwich idea!
The forward wing is a canard.
Nope. The sole purpose of the canard is to stall vastly faster than the main wing and the lift it generates is inconsequential. IN the Pig the front thing is in fact a wing but it has a canard effect too. The front wing allows the rear wing to be a bit further back and in fact the whole fuse is a lifting body. I'd love to know what happens if the encounter a swarm of insects.
G’day, mate. (Sorry, had to say it! LOL)
Thanks for watching. I was just feeding a kangaroo some Vegemite when you messaged. Haha.
Great aircraft and great pilot. It was a fun interview and I hope to do more videos like this with unique aircraft.
Is this derived from a Rutan design.
I really like the airplane, I was wondering why if this is such a great airplane in its class, why was it a market failure. It appears that the KingAir is much still the king in all areas. Based on this video, I'd prefer the Piaggio.That would interesting to know from the airplane community why the Piaggio failed to gain market share and fail as market player, but great airplane as highlighted in this video.
Thanks for your comment. I’m going to look into why they failed as a company, because several people have made similar comments. It’s a very nice aircraft and great to look at, and Emma (the pilot), told me it’s really nice to fly and very manoeuvrable. One issue Piaggio aircraft owners could face is delays getting spare parts when the company is no longer around. Thanks for watching my video.
It's a Greta and fiferent plane I like it
She said you have to clean the props after every flight,that would suck.
I wonder if debris getting hit by the props is an issue.
The pilot Emma told me that it is a risk because the propellers are located behind the back wheels, that’s why they will only land on sealed surfaces and not grass or gravel. Thanks for watching my video.
Big money fix dealing with a dinged up prop.
@@bpnracing1256 yeah… and that’s the only one in Australia, so parts need to be shipped over if anything goes wrong. Shipping is pretty quick these days, so maybe not an big problem.
People speak of it as the wonder plane. It is very expensive, and emits noise that has it banned from some airports.
Hi Lil boy I am from India 🇮🇳 and I love Gyrocopters . Please make a Utube video on the latest Gyrocopters. Thanks in advance.
TU-95 can fly at 950km per hour.
The fastest Tuboprop in the world is still the Tu 95 950 km/h an NOT THE P 180.
G.A..
The Plane ? Absolutely
The Panel ? Nope
Somebody made a really bad decision. Bad enough I bought a King Air B200 and traded "high speed" for speed, comfort and situational awareness. Life is Good.
There's a Garmin retrofit for the older model P180 which some actually opt for rather than having an Avanti II or Avanti EVO
@@Rastor0 Makes total sense to me. The Piaggio is such a magnificent plane. There is only "1" panel (including the G700) worth investing in. The Piaggio is 100 knots faster than anything. Also, and it's just my opinion, that hull will hold pressure to FL410 for decades.
Weird sounding too….
Agree a beautiful aircraft but noisy as hell should it fly over your home.
I think she meant can ard, not kay nard😂
I think you’ll find it’s the Aussie accent on that one. Thanks for watching my video. Just published a new video if you have time. I drove a $500,000 machine!
Canard as per duck in French. Aussie woman is just ignorant - all monolingual there. But she can sure fly aerobatics well. In aviation height only counts from the neck up.
Did she really call it “KAY-NARD”?
Remember it's not a canard or you'll make the Italians mad😂😂😂😂
I bet the TU-95 is faster
Nope, but it does carry bigger load and travels further.
@@ubermenschen3636 TU-95 is about 20kts faster...
@@ubermenschen3636yep
The Bear is faster for long
and the Airbus A400Mis also faster.
@@ubermenschen3636
Fastest turbo prop in the world, I guess none of you ever heard of a TU95 Bear, by the Russians. 1200 N Mile range plus what ever IFR/NBAA reserves It is not great, consider many mid sized jet have range starting at 3000miles +. I will not get in any single pilot airplane ,unless I get the co-pilot seat. Since I cannot check if the pilot had the Vax, like in countries such as Australia, Israel etc who fell for the trap, hook, line and sinker and are working hard to cover up the excess deaths. The pilot can suddenly keel over and someone else have to land the plane. I rather fly with a slightly drunk pilot.King Airs and PC12s are not quite as fast, but I bet I can get a used on far cheaper, and they are easier to load large cargo and get in/out of short strips.
Where did you state the speed of the aircraft you mentioned?
@@classicraceruk1337 It will not be difficult for you to dig up the speed of a TU95 Bear. The Bear been out almost as long as the B52.
@@tonylam9548 I just have and it’s 383 knots the bear and 385 for the P180, so about the same. The bear is not commercially available to buy. The P180 is so hardly the same thing.
The FAI lists a Piaggio P. 180 Avanti as the fastest propeller-driven aircraft with a speed of 927.4 km/h (576.3 mph; 500.8 kn) "over a recognized course", in this case Fort Worth to Atlanta, set on 6 Feb 2003 by Joseph J. Ritchie.
Sorry, but this is NOT the fastest turbo prop.
The fastest world speed record holder for a turbo prop aircraft is Mike Patey at 438.02 miles per hour.
The P51 is faster and it is a single engine piston developed during WW2. Hahahahha
I’m reading 382knts for the P51… so similar speed but not a passenger aircraft. I did a video interview with a P51 replica owner a few weeks ago, here is the TH-cam video of that if you have time: th-cam.com/video/v36gcQF5Mu4/w-d-xo.html
Guess you're not a pilot?
Not yet, I’m only 14. Hopefully soon! Thanks for watching.
The fastest is the TU 95
Is it really necessary to fly these airplanes around all the time... wasting money and fuel just to take rich people to vacation spots, "business" trips and blah dee dah? So funny. If people would invest their time and money on things that actually matter in this world, just imagine how wonderful it could be! Alas people's priorities are in the toilet.
I'm pretty sure all the people that build maintain and operate the plan appreciate the money invested in it.
It's absolutely necessary because it makes people like you feel uneasy. "Why do they think they have to fly these expensive airplanes?" you may ask.. well, because they can, and they don't care about your opinion.
@@eksemos That's the biggest LOSER comment ever. lol
Because that creates jobs. A lot of workers build, maintain, clean and operate these aircraft. Get one.
@@Quisqueyax There are PLENTY of jobs that are much better and less toxic than building gaudy toys for the rich.
The pilot is in the left seat. That is the FO
No its not the fastest! The Airbus A400M is the fastest turboprop in the world and i can bet with you sweet heart
Right 😢
But it's a military one.
There is no comparison between the two.
It's definitely the fastest GA turboprop.
Nope, sorry but i do not agtee. The TU-95 is the fastest turbo prop in the world with a top speed of 550 m.p.h.
@@Homoprimatesapiens That is a military aircraft. GA = General Aviation aka civil aviation.
Italians do it better
