AT Aviation Exclusive Presents: Extra EA500 Turboprop Aircraft
AT Aviation Exclusive is proud to offer this exceptional Extra EA500, a high-performance turbine-powered aircraft designed for private pilots who demand efficiency, reliability, and comfort in a single package. The EA500 is the next evolution of the Extra 400, created by world-renowned German aircraft designer Walter Extra. Unlike the EA400, which relied on a complex liquid-cooled piston engine, the EA500 is powered by a Rolls-Royce Model 250-B17F/2 turbine producing 450 SHP, offering outstanding performance and significantly reduced maintenance requirements with a TBO of 3500 hours.
This aircraft combines modern aerodynamic design with a spacious, quiet, and pressurized cabin, allowing both pilots and passengers to enjoy fatigue-free flight at altitudes up to 25,000 feet. Its turbine engine delivers the reliability and speed of higher-end turboprops such as the TBM750 or Piper PA46 Meridian, while maintaining operating costs closer to a Cirrus SR22. A published cruise speed of around 233 knots, and a max fuel burn in the region of 30 GPH you really can enjoy flying cross-country at exceptional value. Capable of operating out of semi-prepared or grass runways, it's your choice whether to opt for cargo or passenger flying in N85ZS.
The cabin interior is thoughtfully designed, with ergonomic seating, advanced climate control, and ample space, making every flight comfortable, whether on short hops or longer journeys.
The avionics suite has been recently updated to include a Garmin GTN750Xi touchscreen and the factory-installed Avidyne Entegra R9 flight deck, providing intuitive and modern navigation, communication, and flight management capabilities. The aircraft is fully compliant with WAAS, ADS-B In/Out, and 8.33 kHz airspace requirements, ensuring safe and seamless operation in today’s airspace.
For pilots looking to transition into turbine-powered aircraft without incurring the high operating costs of typical turboprops, the Extra EA500 represents an exceptional value. It combines the performance, comfort, and longevity of a turbine aircraft with the ownership costs and ease of operation familiar to private pilots of high-end piston aircraft. Currently based in Germany.
