Single-engine piston aircraft
73 models. Four and five-seat piston singles are the core of European private flying: capable touring machines with the widest choice of models, maintenance shops and resale buyers.
Twin-engine piston aircraft
9 models. Piston twins add engine redundancy for night, water and mountain crossings. The price is roughly double the maintenance exposure, a multi-engine rating and higher insurance.
Single-engine turboprops
11 models. Pressurised turbine singles fly near-jet speeds from small airfields with turbine reliability. They are serious travelling machines whose annual budgets start in six figures.
Twin-engine turboprops
4 models. Twin turboprops combine large cabins, real payload and twin-turbine redundancy. Most owners operate them with professional crew and management support.
Light business jets
24 models. Entry-level jets deliver 400-knot travel and airline altitudes. Ownership economics resemble running a small business: type ratings, programs, hangarage and professional maintenance.
Private helicopters
5 models. Helicopters trade range and speed for point-to-point access no aeroplane can match. Component-life-driven maintenance dominates the economics and needs careful budgeting.
