Piston prop multi-engine aircraft are ideally suited for short-range flights for a small group of passengers or light cargo. Piston prop multi-engine aircraft are usually less expensive than turboprops or jets. This category of aircraft is considered safer and more reliable than single-engine piston aircraft, especially in inclement weather situations. While piston prop multi-engine aircraft are larger than their single-engine counterparts are and can carry more people, weight and cargo, they are still typically smaller than turboprops and jets. A single pilot typically flies piston prop multi-engine aircraft, but a charter provider should be able to supply your flight with a co-pilot upon request. There are generally no lavatory facilities on these aircraft. |
