Sounds like a 182 mission to me. Get one with an STC for AVGAS.
Or you could buy a 180 HP Rallye in decent condition for 20-25K EUR (860 lbs useful load)
& figure out whether plane ownership really is for you.

@MedEwok has this thread changed your plans ?It’s a shame group ownership doesn’t seem to work for so many people. To me it sounds perfect for the amount of utilisation (30 hours of so) you are predicting and all of the fixed costs would be shared.
Are groups a more UK phenomenon?
You need to convince a few other Drs at work to take up flying!
Current plan looks as follows:
Then it is
EITHER
OR
OR

Don’t get their hopes up too high and have a plan B in case the weather is not flyable.
buy a PC-12 or Citation
Those two could hardly be more different in terms of where you can fly them. The PC12 can land anywhere a TB20 can land, well almost. The Citation, no…

No need for a plan B, if the weather is too bad for flying I don’t want to be on the East Frisian Islands anyways

It was a Cessna out of Meigs Field in SubLogic Flight Simulator on the Apple IIe for me.

I just look on that infinity of time, or at least the time from the Big Bang to April 9th 1957, as all being in preparation for my creation. Does that sound at all big-headed? I do hope not.
So who says you exist?
Don’t tell me this is thread drift, it specifically mentions a simulator
So Cogito ergo sum has been downgraded to “I think I think, therefore I am, I think” ?
