Valuation
The 2023 price range of the Avanti II falls between $1,800,000 to $3,496,000. Production of the Avanti II started in 2005 and it stopped in 2014. 129 Avanti II have been produced, 6 have been retired. 122 Avanti IIs are still in operation, while 1 remains with the manufacturer.
Risk Areas
Most underwriters want skilled pilots to have a private license and MEL/IFR ratings, with 2,000 total hours, 500 Multi-Engine/Turbine and 10 hours in the make/model.
Underwriters also expect pilots to complete annual training in the aircraft or full motion simulator training. Insurance companies prefer full-motion simulator training from FlightSafety. Most aircraft are operated by professional pilots for Part 91 operations.
Claim History
The Piaggio Avanti II is considered one of the safest turboprops thanks to its aerodynamics.
However, the aircraft is more difficult to operate than others in its class. This difficulty arises as a result of the lack of FADEC and a narrow gear track.
Though the aircraft was certified to fly with one pilot, most Piaggio Avanti II planes fly with two crews. The intricacies of the aircraft also makes maintenance costs more expensive.
Other typical claims are Foreign Engine Debris (FOD), hangar rash, hail, etc.
Safety Features
Piaggio Avanti II is suited with Rockwell’s Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. It features an Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), Flight Control System (FCS), and Engine Indication System (EIS). They decrease workload and increase flight safety.
There is also an Attitude Heading System (AHS), Weather Radar System, and Flight Guidance Panel (FGP). Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) also provides traffic information for safer flying and Terrain Awareness System (TAWS) heightens situational awareness.
The Piaggio Avanti II recovers on its own from stalls. The small wings on the nose are built to stall, thereby automatically lowering the nose of the aircraft. Thereafter, the aircraft will speed up again and recover from the stall.
The propellers are placed behind the airframes. This brings stability and directional control for the aircraft. The engine is unlikely to get damaged by bird strikes or other foreign objects entering into the engine.
