My neighbor services cellular towers across 6 states. He uses a Mooney as his "work truck". He's taken me up a half dozen times and it's exactly like you said. No luxury, no frills, just functionality and rugged durability. And fast. It reminded me of a WW2 fighter plane. His M20 has been modified for work so there no back seats normally. Just ferry tanks and his equipment. Many of the towers out in rural areas have a strip of grass/dirt or gravel runway so he can land right at the tower. It takes off like a rocket ship.

As a professional pilot with over 8000 hours in all kinds of planes I can tell you that piston twins are the most difficult and dangerous planes to fly. One should not think of flying one without serious aircraft specific training. A safety pilot with lots of experience in your high performance twin is also a must until you get a handle on the thing.

[@therealjimmysworld]

Thanks for the info, good to know!

[@TheGbelcher]

Don’t most ppl consider twins to be safer because they have two engines? What makes them more dangerous?

[@mitchellisaac7490]

It’s easier to enter a flat spin in a piston twin ,VMC is no joke

[@GliderBane]

@@TheGbelcher the above Vmc comment is the truth. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but if you lose one engine, you lose at least 80% of you ability to climb and accelerate. This can be disastrous if you lose one on takeoff. Some piston twins have some pretty complex systems as well. The most convoluted fuel systems I encountered were on twin Cessnas. It was very easy to starve the engines of fuel and still have over an hours worth of fuel on board, if you mismanaged things.

[@Anon54387]

I don't know if it was specifically a partial consequence of it being a twin, but not flying around weather and lack of experience in instrument flying was definitely the biggest share of the problem. He left from San Jose with his wife and two daughters to go to a birthday party (in Phoenix, AZ if I recall). He was over the southern San Joaquin Valley and was talking to air traffic control when he encountered low visibility. ATC was trying to encourage him to fly around the southern end of the area of low visibility, but he insisted on flying through it. He wound up disoriented and heading nearly straight down crashing into an orchard. Just to save some time, apparently, and he kills his whole family. I know of professional pilots who say that if they encounter low visibility in their small private plane that they only use instruments to turn around and get out of a low visibility situation. Some even return to the airport and catch a commercial flight if there is no short way around the low visibility. One cannot be too careful. One surgeon who was flying from one of the southern states into the northeast for a surgery in his own plane encountered low visibility. He tried to land at the airport, but decided to fly to another in hopes of the visibility being better at the next airport. He bounced around among a few airports in the area then decided to try the originally planned airport. By then, he was dangerously low on fuel and crashed short of the runway in the woods when the engine quit. The doctor died, and someone didn't get their surgery done that day.

[@whiteorchid5412]

My husband and I had a turbocharged Piper Saratoga we flew for over 30 years that we called our flying station wagon. It comfortably seats six people, has a range of 1,200 miles and cruises as fast as a twin on a single engine at 200+ knots and maintenance costs and fuel consumption were much less than a twin. So while other aircraft may have slightly better performance in one area or another none is more well rounded in terms of comfort, cabin size, weight capacity, range, speed and operating costs than a turbo charged Piper Saratoga with retractable gear.

My father owned an Aerostar in the 1970's when they were still being manufactured in Santa Maria California. His was actually used by the factory from time to time as a "demonstrator." Yes, it was really fast. And yes, it was pretty noisy despite being upgraded with additional sound "proofing." It was also noisy outside and he received a "violation" from Burbank on a departure. Of the dozens of airplanes he owned during his life, the Aerostar was his absolute favorite and he flew it up into his late 70's. Sadly, he's gone now, but every time I see one of the planes, I think about him.

[@Harleybuc01]

Just saw your number 1 choice.... I flew them for about 2000 hours, you didn't mention the flying qualities. If you have not yet flown one you are in for an extremely pleasant surprise. You will also find as you dig deeper into the Aerostar, the accident rate is not due to the aircraft, its mostly due to pilots not giving it the respect it deserves, or not maintaining the proper proficiency. It does have some quirks, but they are not game changers, just have to pay attention. Things like don't cycle the gear with any side load on the airframe, don't fill up the tanks and let the plane sit on the ramp. Most important... Understand the fuel system! Like any multi-engine light twin, be proficient in your engine out procedures, there is nothing about the Aerostar that is unusual in SE operations but, it is not a trainer. Interesting tidbit, the tail horizontal and vertical control surfaces are interchangeable. Not that it would come up, but interesting.

[@therealjimmysworld]

Everyone I have spoken to that has flown them said the same thing. I am sooooo tempted to get one, but both of my IA connections said they would disown me if I did... :(

[@cliftonbrown911]

Jimmy, explain to your mechanics that you're buying the 600 not the 601P. A world of difference in maintenance cost. The 600 has 2000 hour TBO engines and none of the headaches associated with turbos and pressurisation. If you don’t operate from high altitude airports then you don't need the P model. Don't get me wrong the 700 is great but the 600 will give you the biggest bang for the buck. As Harley said most accidents are the result of pilot error (not understanding the Aerostar). Especially not doing any high bank turns when operating in dual crossfeed fuel management.

[@htschmerdtz4465]

Like the Aero Commander and other designs by engineering design legend Ted Smith, the Aerostar has excellent handling, tank-like structural members and gobs of speed. Very underrated.

[@AerostarPilot]

I have a 702P from Aerostar and if you take care of the aircraft and treat it as if was a million dollar machine, it will take care of you and wont cost any more than a 400 series Cessna to maintain. Too many people neglect them then sell them. The people who thing they got a great deal actually got an expensive project for the first couple annuals.

[@therealjimmysworld]

That's because the only images of a PA-31P I could find were in a shop getting fixed.... hahahahaha

[@1DesertRat]

The performance spec you stated must be for the P Navajo. Fuel numbers for a 350 or 325 hp Navajo will be much less. I might add the counter rotating props on a Chieftain or a C/R make them a sweet handler overall and especially one one engine (no critical engine). I recall something like 200 kts. TAS on no more than 45 GPH in a Chieftain in the low teens.

I know this is a family channel, so I'll keep it clean. I was a summertime FBO 100LL gas pumper for 4 summers during college. 1976-1979. Your hear the scuttle but. The mechanics all have their opinions and pet peeves. I learned a lot by watching other people pre-flight and fly their airplanes. Most people were decent pilots. I usually pulled their airplane out of an old hanger made of 2x4s and corrugated metal. I'd fuel them as requested, check and fill the oil. 90% would do a walk around to check my work and the airplane. Unfortunately, many, who may not have flown the plane for months would just hop in with passengers. Fire up and go. I could have knocked the tail off of the airplane or seriously damaged a wing or the tail empennage. And been frantically trying to find them. They would never have known until they were trying to rotate for liftoff when it was too late. About the Duke. Nobody on our airport had a Duke. To my college aged brain, and the mechanics. Taxiing up in a Duke and shutting it down in front of the hanger was like "pulling it out of your trousers and flopping it down on the pavement". Seriously. It was somebody demonstrating they were the Big Long D**k at the airport. 2 of them were flown in during the summer by the owners of Traveling Carnivals. Late 1970s? Maybe a side business? Pure speculation on my part? I never fueled a Duke for someone who didn't pay CASH. Lots of CASH to fill up a Duke. No receipts were ever requested.

I used to work as a ramp agent for a small family airline in Kenai, Alaska. We operated Piper PA-31 T-1040 series aircraft. These were the Navaho Chieftan with twin 650hp Pratt & Whitney PT-6 turbo prop engines. We operated 9 of these aircraft between Anchorage and Kodiak, Alaska. These aircraft burned 50 gph for a 250 knot cruise. Piper only built 31 of this model. One of the pilots was also a flight instructor and he taught me to fly them it was a real blast. We once flew from Anchorage to Kenai in just under 14 minutes from engine start to engine shut down. From that day on we called tail number N304SC the "Moose River Bullett". Sadly the airline shut down in 1998. I think that only 1 or 2 T1040s are still airworthy. Most have been sold for parts in the early 2000's.

I also had it up to 27,000' once, it would have easily gone higher but there was an inlet manifold leak on the left engine so I couldn't get full climb power from it.

[@singleproppilot]

The C210 doesn’t quite make the 200 knot mark, although the turbo and pressurized versions get very close. They’re also not cheap, by any means. You would be hard pressed to find one in decent shape under $200k. Their price is just a function of how desirable they still are.

[@WilliamAmerica-jk8py]

Have flown about all those you detailed, have to agree with most of your statements. The arrow star 601P was a handful, and am glad I didn't have to afford the maintenance or fuel, fun to fly along with the early Lear's 23, 24's. Of course when I started the Jet A was 25 cents. Of all the planes I owned I recommend the Mooney--anything you can afford, my last super 21 I purchased for 16K, the times they have changed.

The rubber bushing landing gear is also used by the Beechcraft Musketeer, Sundowner, Sport and Sierra. Generally zero maintenance until you need to replace the entire set about once every ten years.

[@therealjimmysworld]

that's a cool fact!

[@msmeyersmd8]

When I flew with my Dad and others in a Mooney. There were always 2 things to consider. They would "float forever" in ground effect upon landing. You always had to keep approach spoeds under control and be mindful of runway length. 5 knots too fast on a high altitude short runway was bad news. And when you touched down your were landing on a stack of slightly softer than normal hockey pucks. Usually, you didn't notice because you were on the binders and pulling up the flaps ASAP. Milking up the flaps while floating in ground effect was very effective. My FBO was a dealer when the 201 and 231 were produced. There were several runway overruns with the 201s. You needed to recognize it quickly and a go around was no problem. By the time the 231 came out most pilots had adjusted. That's why many Mooneys today have spoilers/speed brakes to kill speed on the approach and floating in ground effect if you are too fast. Controlling your approach speed and milking the flaps up slowly worked great and was a lot cheaper. The second thing is that the average American was skinny in the late 1970s. Watch some movies from that time ( like "Caddy Shack") and look at the extras. For the Average American Male in 2021, the Mooneys are a 3 place airplane. For weight and shoulder room. Although it looks like TPTB are setting up the food production and distribution system to starve a lot of people around the world. After they made us all obese with GMOs and estrogenic chemicals. I could stand to lose 50# but that's my Cancer (which they probably gave us all) calorie reserve. My AUX tank, so to speak. C'est la Vie. Oh, I forgot to mention, don't give any of your children any of the CV shots. The vax spike protein's highest concentrations are in the Ovaries and 2nd in the bone marrow. It has been determined that it is cytotoxic. That means it kills the cells it attaches to. And then may travel to other cells, infect them and kill them. Hence the blot clotting abnormalities you are not being told about. For pregnant women, the spontaneous abortion rate is sky high. So, unless your are a star of my 600 pound life? If you are under 45-50 I would absolutely avoid the shots. And avoid people who have had the shots. They may be Super Spreaders? IDK? I do have an MD from USC 1984. Dr Drew's class. We sang in a Barbershop group together. Anyways. I became an anesthesiologist. About as far from this CV crap as you can get. But that doesn't make me stupid. Why have ~40% of the CDC and NIH employees NOT taken the shot? Think! Please! Why are they so spazzed out about "everybody" getting the vaccine? I am not vaccine "hesitant". I am not getting any of the current GD shots. I am NOT hesitant. That wording pisses me off. I'll chop off the hand of anyone who tries to inject me or any family member. My hatchet is sharpened. Sorry for getting sidetracked. But I get nothing from any pharmaceutical company or store. I feel it's a moral and ethical obligation to pass on what I know. And have suspected since the beginning. Everything humans have EVER accomplished was due to a conspiracy. Everything. There may be a few exceptions whose life's were ruined, but basically every accomplishment of human beings is a conspiracy. One man probably couldn't bring down a Mastodon or Wooly Mammoth. A conspiracy amongst men could make the human species survive another harsh winter. Don't blow this off. That IS a CONSPIRACY to kill a Wooly Mammoth. Sorry. It's late. Don't get vaccinated if you're young and ever want kids. I've done my moral duty. You have been warned.

All of the twins in this video aside from maybe the Baron would be a ludicrous step up in ownership cost from the Cherokee 6.
