GENERAL

We are delighted to present for sale this well equipped Turbo Twin Comanche with C/R propellers and many extras. The current owner has circumnavigated the world with this aircraft (then registered D-GPEZ) between April 2013 and October 2014 UK eastbound to New Zealand, then continuing eastbound via Hawai’i back to the UK.

The Twin Comanche is probably the most efficient and cost effective piston twin available.

G-PHIZ has 156 US Gallon useable fuel capacity (Main/Aux/Tip and Nacelle tanks). Cruising at 160 kts IAS using 8 USG per hour a side, it has truly a long-range capability as well as expanding your options for choosing the most economical places to refuel in European touring.
