No I am not super rich. We will see what AOPA says about insuring it to give dual training in it. The airplane as it stands today is worth $74,400 as determined by Vref.

I agree that it would be more economical to operate a Duchess or a Seneca, and normally don't need that much airplane, but the extra performance available is a comfortable thought. I will check the insurance cost to give dual in this airplane.

The normally aspirated Navajo has very good single engine performance. For training I can pull the power back and the economics should be decent, but should a need arise, the airplane has the performance on two or one engine to get out of a jam. I looked at Senecas, and the single engine...

I will be looking for instructors and examiners with experience in type.

These engines develop 300 hp on a standard day, little bit more than the Aztec's, and so burn more as well, but flying at about 3000 feet at 140 knots indicated - such as I would during training the fuel flow would be around 25 gph. I will check the SOP.

It is a conversion, has the IO-540 M1A5 engines, and I am the one who wants to teach in it.

I am thinking of using a normally aspirated Navajo for Multi, Multi Instructor, ATP, etc. training. Three to four days per week, do most of my own maintenance. I think loitering around such as during training flights the fuel flow can be kept at around 25 gph. There is a flight school that...

Hindsight2020, Also take a good look at the Rockwell Commander 112, 114, 115. Huge cabin, the 114 with similar engine to the 260 Comanche will true out at about 160 KTAS. Impressive looking airplane if you can find one.

The 260 will cruise at 160 KTAS at 75% power burning about 14 gph. Wider cabin than Arrow's. Built well. The legendary Lycoming IO-540 at 260 hp easier on the wallet than more powerful versions of this engine.
