The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 7 active Piaggio Avanti registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66B, each producing 850 SHP each of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 366 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 340 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 41,000 feet puts the Piaggio Avanti well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 3,200 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,470 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Piaggio Avanti handles short-haul regional flights connecting major metropolitan areas within a few hundred miles. Typical hourly operating costs range from $1,800-$2,600 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Piaggio Avanti cabin measures 17.5 ft long, 6.1 ft wide, and 5.8 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 9 passengers, with 70 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
