Blackhawk offers transformative performance without the risks of buying new: Will you be able to sell your aircraft for the value you expect?

Yes, the fuel burn is greater at equal altitude. However, taking advantage of the increased climb performance and higher cruise speeds significantly narrows or eliminates the increase in fuel consumption. Also, utilizing the increased climb and cruise performance will reduce block times and deliver a significant reduction in overall operating costs. Typically, any increase in fuel cost will be offset by a larger reduction in direct operating costs. We’ve done the math, it pays to fly faster!
Yes, you’ll spend more on an upgrade than a typical overhaul, but you’ll have so much more to show for it, too: increased earning ability, better resale value, enhanced safety, reduced operating costs and a better flying experience.
