wow, the OH is getting more and more expensive...70k? And I guess it won't be any cheaper in Germany with all the shipping... but actually with 2000h tbo and estimated 150h on the plane p.a. it seems acceptable...and who know what the OH will cost in 10 years

Thank you, yes, I did, but we are only considering G 1000 (or G 500) equipped airplanes ...

Thank you guys very much for your thoughts - all highly interesting! All highly interesting! I have heard that the waas/egnos upgrade is US$25,000 which seems quite impressive given the fact that we have only a few airports in Europe that have LPV approaches with lower minimums then the vnav approach. Has anyone ever had a bravo maintained in Europe or better in Germany? And: how comfortable is it to where the oxygen masks. as the bravo really outperforms at above 10,000 feet I assume we will be wearing these a lot ... Sorry for all the questions, but I am very curious and enthusiastic about the topic

Hello Mooney Bravo Community, a group of friends and I are thinking of buying the following Bravo in Germany and operate it in Germany, around Munich: https://www.aircraft24.com/search/search-singleprop.htm?SHOW_AD_ID=127547&showpage=3&dosearch=1&SEARCH_ADTYPE_ID=P&SEARCH_COUNTRY_ID=DE|AT|CH|IT|FR|SE|NL|ES|UK|LU|BE|DK|PT|FI|CY&SEARCH_CURRENCY_ID=USD&SEARCH_PRICEMAX=320000&SEARCH_YEARMIN=2004&SEARCH_ORDERBY=AD_PRICEEUR&numresults=38 Our mission profile will be: getting our IFR license on our "own" plane and then travel in Europe - especially from Munich to the South over the Alps with a MVA of 17.000ft 1. We would highly appreciate some thoughts on the plane by experienced mooney pilots 2. Especially thoughts on the price are interesting for us as we can only hardly validate it 3. Could you also tell us how much the cost of the 2000h engine overhault will be roughly? We have heard prices from 35.000 $ - 65.000 $ for a new engine. 4. We have also understood that the G1000 combination with the 55x autopilot is not ideal - but should it stop us from buying? Also, the 5. If there is a bravo (or Mooney Ovation) pilot from Germany around, we surely would be highly interested in getting in touch - especially regarding a service company in the south of Germany... 6. An estimate on all costs would be welcome (100h, annual etc.) Thanks in advance for any feedback and safe landings Markus
