Top 5 4-Seater Single-Engine Piston Airplanes | Price & Specs

182 cessna

Would have been nice to know cruising speed and range of each.

The robotic AI voicover needs to go away. I wanted to like the video, but couldn't get through more than a couple minutes. I'm assuming this is an AI voice. If so, get rid of it. If it's a human narrator, speak more realistically. Maybe I'll watch the next one. AI voices need to go away.

Where does one fly one of these planes? Seems like a short distance/few occupant toy.

Like boats, rent one.

Vanz RV10

I was considering getting back into flying and possibly owning a plane but it seems the prices of GA planes have gotten completely beyond what the common working or retired person can afford. Maybe one day if I inherit some unknown fortune!

Don’t get the reason why the cirrus sr22 should be better than the diamond d40….

What about the Sling TSI?.

I was thinking they would average around 200k. But I guess I can’t be surprised when a new pickup truck cost 80-120k.

I'm not a pilot but I love following aviation. I will be a pilot soon. I do love studying all of the performance specs of different designs and learning what I like or not. I wish all of the producers would include one simple stat for their planes - the coefficient of drag. I want a slippery plane. We all want this. One simple number will tell us where we are at. Why do they not do this?

The Cessna 206 Turbo

Hey i know the plane in the thumbnail, N695DS is part of the flying club near me, i see it all the time

This helps with my research so much, thanks for making!

Hey , look at this , I am the one who missed one thing , let us assume in emergency situation , and parachutes open to land safely , and the plane is at 4000 ft. in elevation , Ahhhhh ! now I am safe , and the pilot looks down , and thinks "no , no way , not the power plant " or it could be " no , not the power line". so you see I even miss things . hang glider method is better way and safer.

Hey , this is not fair , only people who can afford to buy the nice planes don't have to deal with stop lights . Nice planes . I remember when I took flying lessons . Nice planes , but you missed one thing , please do not create computers on the planes with male voice and female voice , there will be lot of mid air crashes , due to female computer having crush with male voice , and might get too close to one of them to chat in mid air while flying . No. actually I like them all . But parachute is not good way , It will create jerking motion . better method is hang glider to reduce impact from sudden jerking motion from Parachutes . hang glider to eject out , is better method . So in transition of safe landing , is exactly that , Pilots already know how to fly , so with hang glider safety method , without engine , can glide the craft more smoothly and better way , Parachutes are in mercy of the wind , and this is not good method from the height to jerk and glide down on mercy of the wind to land . but with hang glider method the pilot can control to safe and smoother landing , This is what I am thinking . When engine failure occurs , and if any other emergency occurs , dejection of hang glider is much better.

This reminds me of the World Series, which is only in America, and only involves Americans. Yes, it’s called the world series.

Isn’t it amazing how almost all of these planes in your top five I built in America yet 100+ other countries in the world didn’t make the top five

I think your selection for the Top 4-Seater Single-Engine Piston Airplanes is spot on perfect in every category. I really enjoy your video's. Keep up the excellent work that you're doing! Thank you!

I would have included the legendary Beechcraft Bonanza into this list. Surprisingly no Piper aircraft either

ThAnk you.

What’s the plane at :14 seconds in??

no TB20 Trinidad? oh wait they don't make it anymore :(

P.s Cirrus SR M SR22 series

👍 👌 I like the Cirrus SR 20_ SR22 series . But I enjoyed all five of your selections

How much is plane number 1?

best plane have my mind, 4 or 6 seat, 1 or 2 engine, less than 100 000$ and FREE delivery to thailand. new or used. best used budget plane have 4 seat,singke engine long range (additional tank) less than 80k $ normal used cessna 172 about similar cost 30k-55k no more newer.

I think Cessna 182 was left out on your list (inadvertently).

$300,000 is cheap?????????

Interesting competition has developed over the years in the experimental category. Worth considering when thi king to purchase. Downside potentially is that one must build the plane. Likely a deal breaker for most.

Beautiful planes but I can't buy a new plane at those prices. Very good video thank you

comparing the rs-22 with 180hp GA is tricky, then you must compare it with a c-182 and the da50, and Caps is just a bad solution for a bad design that could not pass spin recovery certification...

Excellent 👍 I like it 😉😉😉

G’day, I like your videos. With this one the background company information was good but at lease cruise speed and range would have been even more interesting. Would have saved me 25min looking up the specs on each 😁
Cheers 🍻

Vans RV 10 Anyone?

In 1970 a new Cessna 172 was $12,500. There is nothing about todays prices that make sense. A dying industry that has outpriced itself.

Excellent stuff

Great choic3s

c172s are the workhorses of training industry. In love with those birds

The fact of the matter is that greed is abundant in the aviation community. I take that back rampant is more like it.
So let's say a shell of a single engine airplane costs $150k-$200k and then you need $100k for an engine and another$100k for avionics I can't see how they are priced where they are. Greed and lawyers is the only explanation that makes sense really.

I think the dr400 is underrated. Its an old and very basic plane,but she is awesome. She can be used to airtow, has an mtow of abaut 1.100 kg which makes her an actual 4 seater. An guy of my flightclup flew our from Deutschland,Sindelfingen to moscow.

I think my favorite would be the Diamond 40NG . I love the concept of single lever and not to have to worry about adjusting mixtures. Also it’s very economic because the used fuel for it is JET A-1 which is highly cheaper than 100LL what I use now on my pa28

Simply wonderful

You are so wrong with the cirrus that is NOT and aircraft is the biggest lie in GA even about parachute because with out it listen WITH OUT PARACHUTE IS NOT NOT AIRWORTHY so can’t or is not able to fly and of you finish with your video fly safe you ever shoot mention cirrus and worth giving 1st place you may be one of the huge hypnotisms marketing machine as hitler in World War Two “ a lie repeated many many times become a true “ by neurons condition responde so or you are part of it or you has been programming by neuro repetition marketing machine such is Cirrus marking company is just that not a moral genuine aviation company

Just thing about the TTX , epic even in a turbo jet thing about any plain that if with parachute is just a real safety add or redundancies but not a condition to be airworthy because at 99.99% this aircraft do not recover an spin very dangerous aircraft that is even use for training

Thinking Most of us real aviation folks rather hear Spec, ( wt., V-no, T.O.-dist) rather than corporate history and background music. Why the order of favorites (the reasoning) 😕

you missed panthera aircraft the coolest one

No speed or burn rates, sadly missing

BONANZA

RV10 is the best 4 seater ❤️✈️
