I joined today. I am seriously considering a Commander purchase. Trying to educate myself. I fly Pa to Florida so looking for fiki, maybe a turbo. I have substantial Meridian and Aztec time. Appreciate anyone pointing me to past posts giving insight into the Commanders habits, true speeds, etc. If my user name prompts the question, I do have a flying Jenny.

Hi. welcome to the group. this is really the place to learn all about Commanders. If you go back to Commander.org and look at the FAQ section. I am assuming you are in PA and visit Florida, you would fly right over my place on the way down. 1GA6,
Have you had a chance to ride in a Commander yet? If not there are local owners that would be glad to oblige.
Life is a barrel of fun.

Hi and welcome. You can get some performance specs from the Commander FAQ - click the 'Articles' link in the blue bar at the top of any page.
But if you want FIKI, you're looking at a 115. There were both turbo and non-turbo options. Also, A/C and non A/C. I'd suggest you make a call to Judi Anderson - long time COG member & officer who is a broker specializing in helping individuals who are either buying or selling Commanders. She has the best info that exists on every Commander in the fleet. http://www.suncoastaviation.com

Hi and welcome. The 2000 Commander with an IO580 is a great ride. Hopefully your purchase goes through without a lot of speed bumps. I'm sure that I'm not telling you anything that you don't already don't know. But hopefully the shop conducting your pre purchase inspections has a deep understanding of Commanders.
Good luck with the purchase.
