At 69.7 in the Avanti II has the tallest cabin of any turboprop we charter, and the comparison worth making is not within its own class. No light jet in our fleet reaches it: the tallest of those fifteen is 68.1 in. A charterer stepping down from a light jet on cost or on airfield grounds usually expects to give up cabin, and on this specification does not. Width is 73 in, a figure shared with the earlier Avanti and unmatched by anything else in the class. The hold takes 60 cu ft across five bags, the largest of the three turboprops whose volume we hold.
Range is 1,510 nm and takeoff 3,500 ft, both mid-class, and the cabin runs 179 in — shorter than the PC-12/47E's 203 in and the King Air's 200 in. That is the shape of the aircraft: a broad, tall room rather than a long one, seating six to seven. We hold no verified top speed for the type, so this page makes no claim about pace. Production has ended. Specified for a party that wants the cross-section without moving up to a jet, the Avanti II offers proportions the category above it does not consistently beat.
