I saw a GAF Nomad parked up in Broome recently, and had a good old look at it. apart from looking like it would be a drama to nything over half hour legs at a time (the seats looked a bit.......Military) It looked like a good contender for the Caravan slot in the GA market. would be good to see how the numbers compare. wouldn't have all the ASEPTA dramas either.
How many seats are they in a normal configuration?. how would the weight and balance go with full seats?. what sort of range would you expect with full seats?, or conversly, how many seats could you fill with full fuel?.
I certainly would look at one if it could compete with the Grand Caravan in the 14 seat configuration. (the D228 looks good too, except for being slightly over the 5700KG limit..... all the Drama involved with that shy's one away from them)
