Looking for a 337 turbo if possible non presurized
 

Hello

I post this message here .. as the thread is more specific;)

I am new to this forum, I fly between Switzerland and Sardinia in Italy. I currently own and fly a Cessna U206G. Great plane, a real jeep of the air.

I am a fan of the 337. In December I had almost finalized the purchase of a P337 N119XU, but the pre-buy showed many problems and I gave up.

I want to take my time and find the perfect aircraft for my mission.

I am counting on your experience and advice to help me make the right choice and answer my questions.

First of all, here is my main use:

I live between SWITZERLAND (LSGS) and Sardinia Italy (OG01) I make frequent round trips. The flight lasts about 3h.30, 450 NM passing over the Alps at 13.500 feet.

In Sardinia the runway is grass and 650 m long at 1'850 feet altitude.

Given my missions my idea was to find a 337 with :

- turbo
- D-ice
- Stole kite + VG s
- Few engine and propeller hours
- Moderne avionic and AP

my budget would be USD 150K / 190 K depending on the avionic

But here in Europe I need an MTOW of 4'400 lbs because above that we have to pay a tax on each flight.

My questions :

- Is it possible to find a 337 Dice turbo not presu ?
- What is the speed on short final with a Stole Kite + VG s
- Distance of take off and landing with a Stole Kite + VG s
- Is the turbo complicated to manage?

I need to pass my Multiengine licence. I plan to comemto the US in October - November ...can you recommand me a nce and friendly school ? Would be perfect to find one who could have 337

I am looking forward to reading your feedback

Sincerely

Alain
