FAQs About the Blackshape Gabriel
How much does a Blackshape Gabriel cost?
New build pricing varies by avionics, lighting package and operating category. As a reference, public quotes for new BK160 builds in 2023 to 2025 clustered around 310,000 USD. Pre owned pricing depends on hours, software baselines, prop and engine times, and whether the aircraft holds night VFR approvals. Request a current appraisal for the year you intend to buy.
Is the Gabriel suitable for flight school use?
Yes. The tandem layout, responsive controls and robust carbon structure suit ab initio and advanced handling phases. Schools value the retractable gear, modern glass avionics and straightforward maintenance access that supports daily utilisation.
What records should I check before making an offer?
Confirm continuous airworthiness records, engine and propeller times, prop governor status, software versions for displays, and compliance with the latest service bulletins. Verify fuel system and landing gear inspections, and match the equipment list to the current weight and balance.
What performance should I plan for in training and touring roles?
Expect maximum cruise near 164 KTAS and a climb rate around 1,550 ft per minute at low weights. Typical endurance sits near three hours with standard usable fuel, but plan with reserves, seasonal density altitude and routing.
Which variants exist and how do they differ?
The BS115 established the baseline with a 750 kg MTOW and day VFR. The BK160 and BK160-TR increased MTOW to 850 kg and added options such as night VFR capability. Avionics suites and interior details vary by build and role.
