Engines, fuel and loading
Engines are Lycoming IO-360-A1B or A1B6, each 200 hp at 2700 RPM, on 100/130 minimum grade avgas. Each tank holds 51.5 gal usable and 2.5 gal unusable. Basic operating weight in the manual is 2909 lbs. A cabin placard (older serials) gives maximum baggage as 400 lbs.
What to check before buying
Confirm which flight manual applies: this one is valid up to serial number 152, and placards and fuel selectors differ between serials up to 122 and 123-152. Check whether the weight-increase appendix is fitted. Check the CG against the limits. Check the propeller RPM markings and the supplements fitted, such as de-icing, auxiliary tanks and autopilot.
Family context
The registry covers the whole Partenavia 68 family, not this variant. Across variants it shows up to 1100 nm range, up to 171 kt cruise, up to 25500 ft service ceiling and up to 10 passengers. Use the flight manual figures for this variant.

Safety notes
- Aerobatic manoeuvres, including spins, are prohibited. Minimum single-engine control speed is 62 KIAS.
- Avoid continuous operation between 2100 and 2350 RPM (IO-360-A1B only). Avoid rapid taxi turns with 1/4 fuel or less in each tank.
- Do not lower flaps with the cargo door open. Stall warning is inoperative with battery and alternators off.
