Super Loud Piaggio Avanti taking off

[MSLTUL]

I don't have anything to compare that to, so I can't tell if it is excessively loud or not. If you could record other PT6 aircraft on the same day, from the same location, it would help. That said, I know the Piaggio does have a bit of a reputation. Still, I've always liked this design.

[beergut111]

aren't they minus 1 p180 now?

[Thom524230]

They have a very distinct sound that is different from any other propeller driven aircraft, Jet or conventional engine. Aside from that, INSIDE the Avanti is whishper quiet.

There is a small fleet of those (8 or 9) in Las Vegas.

Was there an aircraft in there somewhere?

Waste of good video for just the noise, don't you think? lol

[AccessAir]

Actually to me it looks like a catfish...:)

[ziegle9876]

NICE SOUND!

[TheTemest]

You want loud? Try an original Mitsubishi Diamond 300 which became the Beechjet 400. That makes the Avanti seem like it has silencers on the turbines.

[unclesara]

@TheTemest Yes! I worked at Beech on 400xp and was always stunned why they shrieked so much.

[CSGETFCE]

Thats not LOUD or noise....its just MUSIC..PT6A music dude!

[reichec]

Ever heard the racket a falcon 20 makes?

[YKMav8r]

@reichec the only time i saw a falcon 20 take off there was a G-II departing on the parallel rwy.

[blackhawk117458]

@reichec I will try getting video of one taking off. My school is right next to a USCG/gen. aviation airport, and they take off daily (I assume to patrol the Caribbean area). Occasionally they will fly no more than 70 feet on approach directly over the school.

These planes are not very loud compared to any other turboprop they just sound very very very different which makes them seem louder. On takeoff and landing with the propellers at mas RPM the sound is very high pitch but once the aircraft has a positive rate of climb and the gear and flaps are up the pilots pull back the propeller speed and the sound (pitch) becomes lower and the P180 sounds almost like any other turbo prop.

[YKMav8r]

@carman3756 Yeah? Well! It looks like a flying egg beater.

[carman3756]

Ill give you that it does look like a chefs worst nightmare but a very very fast one

[oldsnwbrdr]

I heard a Gulfstream take off from Troy MI once. It was DEAFENING!!

[r0dnee]

that is not loud the gulfstream 2,3 learjet 23-24-25-28-29 lockheed jetstar 1-2 the saberliner 40-60-65-75 hawker 600 and falcon 20f are loud and the mu-2 that shit is loud

[queenartistflying]

BTW Piaggio Avanti is actually one of the more quieter airplanes out there. (For a turbo prop) The unique sound of one in the air on final is one of the most unique, coolest sound I know...

[YKMav8r]

Thanks for the comment queen... and for posting your Piaggio videos.

[Outlaw1257]

Speaking as an experienced psychologist, I believe that one of the major benefits of the "square wave" sound from the engines is that it's uniqueness is easily recognizable, and can easily be distinguished from other aircraft. This, combined with the rear placement of the engines, allows the pilots to "symbolically fart" down the runway.

I'm not really a psychologist. I just made that crap up.

[YKMav8r]

@Outlaw1257 LOL

[queenartistflying]

That's not loud. Go stand next to an MU2 and record the take-off!

[trunkgmx]

super what..!?

[Quarter32]

Loud is relative, what db level did you measure?

[YKMav8r]

The one in my ears. Go stand next to one and report back.

[captainjman1976]

Super loud? Try standing near an MD80 sometime and tell me that the little piaggio is loud... why even complain you were AT THE AIRPORT dude.... but im sure you wouldnt complain if you had to go somewhere, then the noise isnt a problem. Maybe we should have airplanes turn the engines off for takeoff, would that make you happy?  OH WAIT, DUH, we need them. Do you think we have a switch to make it louder for you just to annoy you? GET REAL

[forexpro35]

Its a absolutely wonderful and fantastic aircraft, but it's a little bit of a stretch to say its "made" by Ferrari. Ferrari is a partner to the aircraft, and Piaggio does have minor sponsorships with the racing team,also Ferrari handles the upgraded interior work, but thats the extent of there affiliation and far from building the Avanti II...But other then that you were right on !

[YKMav8r]

Let us know when you upload some videos and quit selling Amway.

[forexpro35]

Amway ?? What does that mean? Where in my responce does it say anything about selling Amway or anything for that matter? If you dot like people making responces to your video then make sure you properly title your videos and do your research.. Piaggio & Ferrari are seperate companies just as I said as well as JMAUGHAM....

[YKMav8r]

The Ferrari family took control of Piaggio Aero Industries 10 years ago. FYI They sold the sports car mfg business to Fiat about 40 years ago. I stand by my statement. Stop being a hater and quit promoting your ponzi scheme on Youtube.

[jmaugham]

...and it's not made by Ferrari.

"Piaggio Aero Industries' Chairman , Piero Ferrari (son of Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the Ferrari automotive company) is also vice Chairman of Ferrari S.p.A"

And Piaggio Aero is the sponsor of both Ferrari F1 teams.

[YKMav8r]

O.K.... From the same people who brought you the Vespa!

[jmaugham]

It's only loud outside the airplane. It's very quiet inside.

[wazzu90FIJI]

Idiot!

[N21X]

Pretty loud. Wouldn't be cool just to have $9,500 a month? :)
