Good luck with getting your part. Yes, I'm using Jeppesen. There always seems to be an issue.

Agree, it was a weak contribution. I am still catching up after the trip, caught a very bad cold and managed to generate significant abandonment anxiety issues in my smaller children by being gone on the adventure.

Username Protected wrote: To the Commander experts here, What is wrong with this deal? http://www.controller.com/listings/airc ... ander-690bTony, you need to check if it has had SB 241 done. It's an aft pressure bulkhead beef up that came a few years ago after they found cracks on some airframes. I affects the 690A's and B's only, not the Jetprops. It's a $70K deal to do if it's not been done. My guess is that's why it's a little lower. Gear is coming up in 2018, but that's not a big deal ($5k inspection or $15K overhaul). Even with the SB 241 outstanding, could be a decent deal. One engine is coming up in 1300hrs, but that's a long time....

It looks nice, there are some fantastic values on -5 airplanes.
The -5 are faster than most TP and go farther than most TP.
It's only when you compare them to other commanders and some othe garret powered planes that they seem slow.
They are 260-270kt planes with single engine performance that is unmatched by other TP.

Username Protected wrote: Another benefit of the -5's is that since so many have upgraded to -10's, they are pretty plentiful. It's much easier to find a halftime -5 for a good price than it would be a -10. Or rotable parts. thanks for the input. How's overall maintenance costs? just roughly 25K a year 50K a year? etc
