Questions about Skymasters

[WebMaster]

I think that there are some things to consider.
1. Fuel flow will be higher for a P, 27 gph vs 22-23.
2. The turbos, and controllers, require ongoing maintenance, as well as the magnetos, and sparkplugs. If you get non pressurized magnetos, you have to service them more often, as well as the plugs. Otherwise, the mags start crossfiring, and the engine runs rough, won't make power, etc.
3. Insurance will be higher, and there will be a requirement to go to RTC on an annual basis for recurrent training.

Jerry Desantis owned a non-P, then bought the P, and makes the comment that a P is a much more serious airplane.

It boils down to what do you want to do with your plane.
