What Type of Airplane Should I GEt?

Question

Ok...Well i am 15 y/o and am in pilot training...Well father said he would purchsase me a Plane...So we recently went shopping and well i saw plenty of nice ones but what is the best company? What company do you prefer for a Jet and a multi engine Prop?

Answer 1

There's no way you can afford a JET.

A small USED muti-engine would cost more than $100K - easily.

So stopping TRYING to pull people's leg and go to sleep.

Good Luck...

Answer 2

if u are not a distant traveller then would prefer a twin engine BO force plane in USA. still better single nozzle prop fan engine as it good for maneuverings and somersault.

good luck.

Answer 3

How about something really cool - like an Epic Jet or a new Cirrus Jet.

Yeah - that's the ticket.

Answer 4

cessna is good for a new pilot..easy to navigate and very light..

Answer 5

Aren't you adorable.

Daddy is gonna buy you a jet for your first aircraft?

Hold my beer and watch this.

Try looking for a Cub or a Champ or if you have no coordination - how about a Cessna.

Answer 6

I believe cirrus is coming out with (or already came out with) a single engine personal jet.  No doubt this would be incredibly expensive though...

Answer 7

Get yourself one of those retired Concorde jet since you have so much money to spend.

Answer 8

Since you are training and will be flying with an instructor for awhile I would go with a twin. The time you build in a twin is more vaulable career wise than single engine time. A Piper Seminole, or Seneca are good starters. Beechcraft Baron 55 or 58 are good but may be too advanced to start.

If Daddy has really deep pockets you can find a Cessna Citation (C500, C550, CJ1,2,or3) that is certified single pilot. Hire a pilot and have him train you .

Answer 9

Get a Fokker or let me build an flying saucer for you, no kidding here, if you have money, why don't let us build one for you, for I know how, seriously!

Answer 12

Answer 13

Obviously you have no idea how much airplanes cost or how a purchase is made.

A single engine trainer, which is what you will want in a couple of years when you are old enough to be taking flying lessons, will cost you a minimum of $20,000 and will entail ongoing costs of $6,000-$8,000 per year to own and maintain.

You can easily spend $150,000 on a more advanced single in the used market.

Multi-engine piston airplanes cost anywhere from $40,000 for an old used banger to a million dollars for a new cabin-class twin.  Jet airplanes run in the millions.  In every case, the ownership cost is proportional to the purchase price.  You can easily spend $40,000 per year just to keep a complex airplane sitting in a parking space.

So you need to consider this carefully, and so does your father.  If you are on the level, you are one of the luckiest kids on earth.

Answer 14

If your pops is paying then swing for the fence and get an Extra 200 or 300.  You can do aerobatics and show off to the girls at your high school.
