With full fuel you can carry 3 adults and their bags if you can a place to put them. When I started really looking into the VLJ thing it never made sense me. These little buggers just don't do anything that a bigger less expensive turbo prop that carries twice as much and goes just about as fast doesn't do better. I was told by the factory trianing guys the EA500 cruises at like 260kts!? YGTBSM.
I won't argue that there is obviously a niche market for these things in certain regions but it is FAR from the end all be all cure to air travel that they were hyped as from the marketing folks that were trying to sell them. I think the market place has already proved that to be correct.
