First Aircraft Purchase
Hi all.
I have recently obtained my EASA PPL, and intend on buying an aircraft, perhaps jointly with a friend. We both intend to obtain an IR(r) relatively quickly, perhaps followed by an IR in due course.
I would prefer to have something with at least 6 seats, an excellent avionics package, and a reasonable amount of comfort.
I travel around the UK and parts of Europe regularly on business, so I would like something which is reasonably quick and has a decent range.
As I learnt to fly in a PA28, I have mainly been looking at Piper Saratogas so far, but have also looked at the Piper Malibu. The budget will extend to around $300,000, although there may be a little room for an increase if required.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what would be most suitable, or alternative suggestions or observations?
Thanks in advance.
