How to choose an aircraft to buy?

Choosing an aircraft to purchase is an important step that will determine the comfort of your flights. Here are the key factors to consider:

Purpose of aircraft:

Short business trips: a small but comfortable aircraft such as the Cessna Citation CJ3+ or Embraer Phenom 300E is suitable for business meetings.
Family/friends vacations: if you are traveling with a large group of people on a medium distance, choose more spacious models, such as Bombardier Challenger 605 or Gulfstream G450.
Transcontinental flights: for long flights, you need an aircraft with long range and sleeping places, such as the Bombardier Global 6000 or Gulfstream G650ER.

Number of passengers:

Determine medium number of passengers that are flying most of the time, to select an aircraft with enough seats and comfort level for everyone.

Distance and route:

Consider the range of 80% of your most popular flights for the chosen model and the possibility of landing at the destination airport. Consider the specifics of your route: mountainous or maritime terrain may require Aircrafts with specific specifications. We can help you with this!

Budget:

Determine your budget and compare the cost of buying different models. We’ll tell you when you could cut corners and when you shouldn’t do that.
The cost of the aircraft should not exceed 5% of your capital. Otherwise, you could attract financing.

Additional Requirements:

Availability of full size bedroom, kitchen, sleeping places, shower room, internet and entertainment system.

Frequently asked questions

What is Piper known for and what is the M-Class line?

America's Piper has built more than 144,000 aircraft since 1937. Today its flagships are the M-Class family: the piston M350, the turboprops M500, M600SLS and the new M700 Fury with 556 km/h speed and 2,850 km range. It is the most affordable entry into turboprop aviation: six seats, a pressurised cabin, Garmin G3000 avionics — priced from $3 to $4.1M. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How safe are the single-engine Piper M600 and M700?

The M600SLS was the world's first to gain the certified Garmin Autoland system: if the pilot is incapacitated the aircraft picks an airfield, lands and shuts down the engine itself — just press one button. Plus automatic stall protection, life monitoring and the proven PT6A-42A. For a family owner-flown aircraft, no rival has yet fully matched this set. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How much does the Piper M-Class cost and what does ownership cost?

A new M700 Fury is ~$4.1M, the M600SLS ~$3.7M, used M500s can be found at $1.7–2.4M, and the piston M350 from $1.1M. Operation is among the cheapest in the owner-flown class: ~$600–800 direct costs an hour on the turboprop versions. The ideal niche is 500–2,000 km routes for 3–4 people. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Which country is Piper from, how old is the marque and how many built?

Piper Aircraft is an American company from Vero Beach, Florida, founded in 1937. One of the most prolific marques in history: more than 144,000 aircraft built. Its current flagships are the M-Class family (piston M350 and turboprop M500/M600/M700). Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How do you choose an aircraft to buy for your needs?

Start from two numbers: the length of your typical route and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 people — a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km — a midsize jet; nonstop intercontinental — a long-range jet. Then adjust for short runways, baggage volume and sleeping berths. We'll match a model to your profile and calculate the ownership economics. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

New aircraft or pre-owned — which is the better buy?

A new aircraft means a factory warranty and a 1–3-year queue, but the price is at its peak. A pre-owned aircraft means immediate delivery and a price 30–60% lower, while engine time and history matter. For most buyers a fresh 3–7-year-old aircraft is optimal: the main depreciation has happened and plenty of life remains. We cost both options. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.
