Beechcraft Denali orders in Oz
Does anyone have any orders for the new Beechcraft Denali into Australia? https://beechcraft.txtav.com/en/denali
This could be a great alternative for remote or bush operations where turbine Jet-A fuel is needed. Unsure how good it would be for the bush conditions though.
Any advertised costs out there yet?
Surely with the costs of Avgas Vs Jet-A, and then DOC's, that this might be an alternative over ageing singles of Cessna 210's up north.

From Dr 'G'....Denali list price is quoted 'from' USD 6 M......and that's before a projected price rise for deliveries.
That's plus the ferry and delivery costs and rego and OZ 'Cert' etc etc....and not forgetting the USD/AUD Exchange rate.
A rather expensive 'tourist' acft for around AUD 12M +.....that's a LOT of 'bums on seats'...?
I reckon that the 'older' acft will be around for a while yet.
'Rotsa Ruck'.....

It's pretty much a PC 12. That has certainly found it's niche in Aus, but not many 210s have been replaced by aircraft worth 24 times as much!!

Nah!.....Not enuf windows for de touristies.......
You could stand under the wings when its raining though - just like on the '209'......
Hey Mr LB, this particular 'T' stands for 'Thronomister'...required kit in the 'Top End' - due of course to the high relative humidity.
And, yes, I do think its available in the 'diesel' version - 209DT
To prevent annoying insects biting the paying pax, its also avbl in the DDT version.
