AIRCRAFT DESCRIPTION: The Pilatus P-3 series aircraft is an all metal, piston engine, tandem two seat, high performance military trainer with retractable landing gear and constant speed propeller, and was used for primary and advanced training, including aerobatics, night and instrument flight. Cruise speed, with the Noble Turbo 520 conversion, is 160 KTAS at around 18 GPH. Stall speed is 58 KIAS, with a VNE of 270 KIAS. Rated +6G & -3G with a rate of climb well over 1000 FPM at a gross weight of 3473 lbs. Wing span is 34 ft., with length at 28 ft. The gear and flaps are electric, with a 24 volt system. Gear and flap speed is 120 KIAS. Built to rugged Swiss requirements, and completely corrosion proofed internally, this robust aircraft is a delightful flyer, with excellent technical support and spares available in the U.S. Certainly one of the finest Warbird values! Recent Pilot Report May 9, 2008: Here's my impressions after flying the Pilatus P-3 for four hours: First off, it is amazing how nice the aircraft is, especially considering that it is 50 years old. The cockpit is roomy and comfortable, and the visibility is phenomenal. Also, the paint, inside and out, makes the airplane feel like new. The P-3 has a max gross weight of nearly 3500 lbs. However, the turbocharged engine and large flight controls make for a very responsive and light-feeling aircraft. During the test flights, I flew as high as 14,500 ft. It is also impressive how the climb manifold setting of 35 inches is maintainable all the way up to altitude. With the installed oxygen system, high teens are both achievable and practical. In cruise, with power set to 2400 RPM and 30 inches, and the fuel flow set to 18 gph on the JPI, the true airspeed exactly matches the flight manual at 160 KTAS. With 70 gallons total in the mains and aux fuel tanks, 500 nm with very good VFR or IFR reserves are possible. Overall, I completely enjoyed flying the Pilatus. You have so thoroughly refurbished this aircraft that someone is going to enjoy it a great deal. Thanks again for letting me enjoy your Warbird.
