Why choose a Piston aircraft?
  • Fuel Efficiency
    Piston aircraft are more fuel-efficient than turboprops or jets on short-distance flights, especially below 10,000 feet where piston engines perform best.
  • Altitude performers
    Piston aircraft typically fly at altitudes below 15,000 feet, making them perfect for scenic flights and regional travel where you can actually see the landscape below.
  • Cost-Effective Operation
    They are among the most affordable aircraft to buy, operate, and maintain—making them ideal for private owners, student pilots, and flying clubs.
  • Great for Short Distances
    Piston aircraft typically have a range of 500–1,200 nautical miles, perfect for short hops, regional business trips, or recreational flying.
  • Engine Type
    Piston aircraft are powered by internal combustion engines—similar in principle to car engines—using either avgas (aviation gasoline) or, in some newer models, alternative fuels.
