Piaggio Avanti pilot David Visser gives us a detailed walkaround of this amazing aircraft. We get a close look at the interior and exterior of the fasted turboprop aircraft in it's class.

[@landon1086]

Wonderful review, no unnecessary content, drawn out explanations, and the pace was perfect. Very well done

[@llwellyn1]

I wish all aircraft reviews on youtube were this good. Fantastic job !!!

[@ErikJohnston]

Thanks a lot. glad you liked it

[@M12Howitzer]

Indeed, a very good outside and inside tour. Thank you for such a great vid! p.s. you've mentioned single pilot operation - is it certified for SPO? And if so, the pressure panel seems a bit far from left seat, does it have full auto mode by default? Thanks again, for great video!

[@Koan_Om]

Absolutely agree

[@stevensmith5254]

the best overall ever. thanks

[@sparkyadondavid]

@D B It'll crash, just like any other aircraft.

[@v12kid]

Absolutely the best walk around of a Piaggio I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing

[@ErikJohnston]

Your welcome, glad you liked it

[@NiTeHaWKnz]

I have to disagree. This isn't the best walk around of the P.180, it's the only PROPER walk around. Most people just walk around the exterior pointing their camera into wind and say nothing. Thanks also had to go to the pilot for sharing all the information that he did.

[@hotelgulf]

Very nice walk around. The Avanti is amazingly slick and does have many Lear traits. Who is the pilot doing the tour?

[@DanFrederiksen]

Yeah it was nicely knowledgeable and competent.

[@tomkovach9695]

@@ErikJohnston That is the best walk-around presentation that I've seen for ANY aircraft. (It just happens to be made even better by the fact that it's a Piaggio Avanti.) ;)

[@davidoickle1778]

I actually saw a Piaggio when it landed at our small municipal airport. It was delivering some businessmen to a local plant. A most impressive aircraft. The pilot, with whom we spoke, sure loved the plane.

[@edal61]

EXCELLENT presentation, the pilot knows the aircraft like the back of his hand!

[@3HOCFRESKO]

One of the two best review on the aircraft on the YT!

[@rdhconsult4828]

Extremely professional, concise and informative.

[@masoodkhan111]

Very knowledgeable, very attentive presentation. Very beautiful aircraft.

[@siyu313]

First walk around video that I have watched without forwarding. Outstanding work man!

[@biggles5633]

This is an excellent review and the owner/pilot is clear very proud of and knows his aircraft intimately. Great stuff.

[@apuuvah]

Thanks for this comprehensive presentation. Damn fine plane. Fast, roomy and economical (compared to a jet). I like the moving seats and, most of all, the lavatory.

[@osptony]

I no longer need my flightradar24 to identify the Piaggio Avanti. I live in Topsfield,MA and can pick up the sound of the Piaggio as it passes over Boxford, MA headed for Beverly Regional Airport. It doesn't sound like a 1960s / early 70s Ferrari but , to me, doesn't sound like any of the other planes that fly overhead. Love the looks. Great vid, thanks.

[@stratobee]

Thanks for this, Eric. I'm a Turbo Commander owner, but the ultimate dream has always been an Avanti. Thanks for showing us all the features.

[@cathix0032]

As a service linesman, I'm glad to see these come into my FBO and take care of these beauties. Don't have to crouch down to plug/unplug the GPU but having those props running even feathered is friggin scary as hell...even at night!

[@3rtsmi]

As far as I'm concerned the Avanti is THE most BEAUTIFUL aircraft in the sky! A perfect mixture of future tech yet fully grounded in tried and true aircraft construction. Speed enough to keep pace with jets while burning less than half the fuel. Perfection !

[@regologelliniromacivis]

Lovely aircraft, I saw one in Cannes a few years ago and really got me fascinated . Italian Design at its best !

[@oscalealvisl]

That is such a beautiful aircraft i actually got a tour of one that landed here at KUDD and the cabin was quite spacious i fell in love with the avanti that sound 😍

[@P-CROZIER]

Absolutely Loved flying this Aircraft, Lots of Fun and Performance. An Excellent Walk Around, Really Enjoyed listening to this gentleman who really does a wonderful job 👏👏

[@davidd6635]

Are you any relation, son possibly, to the Paul Crozier that built the Emeraude airplane I now own?

[@P-CROZIER]

@@davidd6635 Unfortunately No David, Although I wish I was, Thank you 👍🏼

[@andrewhontz3327]

Man I wish there were more thorough, detailed walk-arounds like this for those of us with a bit of knowledge already...great job calling out specifics on this truly unique bird. Knowing this is an old video no sweat if you don't reply...run into any noise complaints given that unique sound it generates? We get a few here at KEDC and can always tell if it's flying overhead.

[@ErikJohnston]

andrew hontz Glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun video to make

[@indepviewpt]

You know your aircraft. Thanks for the video.

[@par5eagles975]

Living near an airport, I can verify these pushers are by FAR the loudest airplanes around. We are lucky, they don't fly in/out of the airport very often.

[@alexdeleon8507]

Thanks for the awesome tour fo the world's most beautiful, inovative and interesting private plane! Where'd I leave that lottery ticket.....

[@eastbend99]

Awesome review video. No bullsh*t, just right to it, with the facts. Very thorough and complete. Thank you.

[@ErikJohnston]

Your very welcome! Glad you liked it

[@jamielancaster01]

WOW I’m surprised how spacious the interior is.

[@oat138]

The best walk around. Thank you. Beautiful plane too..

[@kevinstiff8681]

Still the best walk around of this aircraft to this day

[@Random-rt5ec]

Gorgeous machine your thorough knowledge of the plane made the walk around great to watch.

[@anthonypropst1818]

This walk around is truly the best I have ever seen! Bravo! Very informative and helpful. Can't say enough good things.

[@manh2704]

Great video! Love how you know everything about this beauty inside and out. I’ve been watching a few videos of this but just walk around or not enough commentary. You know your shit! You sound like my dad explaining something about work to me, he’s an electrician.

[@scottmajor2620]

Great plane. U can tell an avanti is flying over w out looking up. Thx for sharing

[@sixpackpilot]

This channel is the best one I have found in a long time. All these interesting "quirks and features" (to use a Doug DeMuro reference) keep me coming back for more. I know about the planes, but not to this level of detail.

[@gryfandjane]

Stunning design... I've seen only one Piaggio here in the St. Louis area; before I even spotted it flying over, the sound got my attention. The turboprop/pusher combination makes for a very distinctive noise! Thanks for a really interesting walkthrough.

[@DanFrederiksen]

I come back to it with renewed insight 5 years later. How time flies. Great walk through video. It's an inspirational plane but I have come to realize that they should have gone jet as jets can be about equally efficient and the piaggio is banned at certain airports for its noise. The Eclipse jet is a good comparison, it uses about half the fuel as a 5-6 seater and the Piaggio here is a 9-10 seater, both at similar speed and that just voids the justification for turboprops. Further the weight could probably be cut in half or more as a carbon fiber bubble instead of the alu sheet construction. Also diameter could be reduced slightly and use more high tech insulation so you save maybe 15cm in width before reducing cabin width. If they made such a jet version before Otto Celera does, I think they could sweep the small business jet world. That round peg AOA sensor on the side looks like it would disturb the air. A single pilot seat could also be central and moved forward with only a vestigial jump seat second pilot seat offset behind. To take less cabin space and need less windshield. With modern tech I would consider having minimal windshield and use all video views because cameras are better at handling direct sunlight and you can zoom and look in all directions with video. Ultimately I think that's more civilized than looking out the window. A carbon fiber bubble lends itself well to pressurization and could support sea level cabin pressure even in space with relative ease. The double curved fuselage also naturally gives rigidity even in very thin carbon fiber. I'm surprised more aircraft manufacturers don't take advantage of this. As you also remark the landing gear looks very beefy. Should be some weight savings possible there too. It can also be shorter in a jet version that needs no propeller clearance.

[@Repented008]

That's sooo awesome! You should do another of her performance @ altitude!

[@DonegalTDI]

Thanks David, thorough and just the correct level of detail. Well done.

[@Sycamoreguitarlessons]

Excellent walk around. Thanks for sharing!

[@Erissonpeixoto]

I'm ready for a type rating after this video. Very comprehensive walk around, thank you!!

[@jonathanhankins8356]

I stayed in Rome for two weeks last summer and kept seeing these fly over. Really unique looking plane. Obnoxiously loud though.

[@cndam]

Fantastic! Thanks for a very thorough overview of what is becoming my fav aircraft.

[@ErikJohnston]

Your welcome. I have loved the Piaggio for a long time.

[@SyafiqFly]

same here!..increadible aircraft

[@randyporter3491]

Thank you, for the incredibly informative review. Amazing aircraft, to say the least, but the "tour and walk around" was the best I've seen. Really appreciate you sharing !

[@troothhertz6297]

I can now afford a pre owned Piaggio 8 year old one like this model.. 😊 which i will aquire nxt year

[@MarkFromEastleigh]

Well I was absolutely drawn in by this walkaround. So detailed and well explained. I just love this aircraft. That lovely drone sounds when landing. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and spacious. What I would give for a flight in one of these beauties !!

[@RonVF]

Nice job sharing this aircraft along with all it’s systems, technology and development history. Well done!

[@CG-kf5vh]

I feel like buying one now! Great job. Tx

[@TheAslakVind]

Amazing, beautiful and advanced bird. Just what you expct from an Italian plant. And you can really see the Lerjet DNA in the tail! Great tour, Thank You SIr!

[@urhiredhr421]

Due to their configuration , they make a very distinct and recognizable sound signature .

[@BlackAnvil47]

I would love to see this plane up close!! Great video

[@ReaiityCk]

Beautiful aircraft, my husband and I enjoy flying our turbo charged Piper Saratoga but Avanti's really stand out in terms of performance and good looks!

[@TIO540S1]

Well done. It’s a wonderful airplane and very well presented. Lots to love. I wish my C441 had single point refueling and, oh yeah, flew 400 KTAS instead of 300 KTAS.

[@SyafiqFly]

the part where the AIP is ready avail onboard on the MFD...i was absolutely blown away!!..wonder how the performance and controls feel like.

That airplane is absolutely charming, a dream.😍

[@GianniBarberi]

BTW piaggio headquarter is very close to my home, and you know the Vespa, the first scooter, was invented here, after ww2 converting to civilian production, it used a lot of aeronautical tech, if not spare parts

[@pcbassy9404]

Never had so much advertising in vid short like this before. Beside this , its very informative.

[@jzero5461]

Theres one of these is based at the airport near where I live. It is louder than all the other commercial aircraft, I can always Pick it out by noise alone when coming into land. It causes a noticeable vibration in anything it flies over.

[@mariano7699]

Beautiful airplane ✈️ 💜
