Interior Notes
The Aerostar 601P is the most economical of the pressurized piston twins with the capability of flying at FL250 at an honest 215 KTAS with 800-1200 nm range. The cabin has a uniform cross section from the front seats to the rear bench: no tapered rear cabin as in the Duke, Baron, or Seneca. The Lycoming 540 series engine is well known for exceeding its 1800 hour TBO, even though the Aerostar has no cowl flaps and frequently engages in 20 to 30 minute climbs.
The Aerostar handles beautifully, with crisp and solid response in all three axes, while remaining exceptionally stable, traits not typically found in a traveling machine. Beech pilots will appreciate the exemplary yaw stability of the Aerostar.
The Aerostar barely feels turbulence that sends most piston twin passengers scrambling through seat back pockets for a sick sac. Passengers appreciate flying high and above the turbulence and weather. Non Pressurized pilot-owners stepping up to the Aerostar will be amazed not only by the speed and handling of this plane, but also by how fresh they feel after a cross country jaunt in a pressurized speedster like the Aerostar.
Long range cruise power settings give the Aerostar the capability of flying up to 1300 nm non-stop on winter missions. At 50% power, running rich of peak, the Aerostar 601P will deliver an honest 200 KTAS at 13.2 gph per side. Running lean of peak (something that the 601P does well with the high compression engines), the Aerostar 601P will deliver 215 KTAS while burning just over 14 gph per engine.
Fuel burns at max range cruise can b as low as 10 gph per side while running lean of peak in the 200 KTAS neighborhood.
