Indeed these airplane are incredible. Dallas to Charleston 2.5 hours. 361 knots on 500 ppm at FL380 at +9 ISA! The wife and boy love it too - lucky devils. This is the quietest airplane interior in the world ...its beyond description. Click on the photos for correct orientation Attachment: IMG_2148.JPG

It depends on how far you are going. 3.5hrs and you have usually burned 2000-2200 lbs depending on altitude.
You can pull it back and it gets insanely efficient. Like 320kts on 400lbs\hr. It will easily so 1500nm if you want to fly it at 320kts vs faster.
Mark is right on noise. It’s very quiet

It is car on highway quiet at that altitude. Not sure I could have made it up there in a reasonable amount of time had I been heavy. I didn’t try it till later in the flight and I only weighed around 9500lbs at that point. On cold days it would be no problem. Impressive FF's up there! 460-470lbs/hr, it looks like.

Spoke to the maintenance guy of a company in Quebec that flys 3 of these Piaggio. They are flying about 1200 hrs total per year for the 3 and maintenance is about 1.5-2 manhours per flight hrs.
Is that what you guys are seeing?

Is that what you guys are seeing? Would that have been John Maris's (Marinvent) plane? Not sure if they still have it.
