Each listing links straight through to the seller, so a Mitsubishi MU-2 in another country is worth considering rather than filtering out.
What should I check when buying a used Mitsubishi MU-2?
On a used Mitsubishi MU-2, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Mitsubishi MU-2

Aircraft overview

The Mitsubishi MU-2 is a Japanese designed, twin turboprop utility and executive aircraft built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The prototype first flew in 1963, and production ran through 1986, with assembly and completions also supported in the United States. It is a pressurized, high wing aircraft with a distinctive design: full span flaps, spoilers for roll control, tip tanks and compact overall dimensions. The MU-2 matters in the used market because it offers turboprop speed, strong payload capability and short field performance in an airframe that is often priced below many King Air and Cessna Conquest alternatives.

Performance & specifications

Performance varies significantly by variant, especially between short body and long body models, but the MU-2 is generally known for cruise speeds around 270 to 310 knots. Typical range is often in the 900 to 1,200 nautical mile class, depending on model, payload, fuel and reserve assumptions. Service ceiling is commonly listed at 25,000 to 29,000 feet. Most production aircraft use Garrett, later Honeywell, TPE331 direct drive turboprop engines, with output varying by version. Useful load is model dependent, but many MU-2s are capable of carrying a meaningful cabin load with fuel for regional missions.

Cabin & avionics

The MU-2 cabin is compact but practical, typically configured for about six to nine passengers, with some utility layouts differing. Long body versions provide more cabin length and baggage flexibility than early short body aircraft. The pressurized cabin, club seating options and private owner or business layouts make it suitable for short to medium stage lengths. Factory avionics were conventional analog systems for the period. On today’s market, avionics vary widely, with many aircraft upgraded with Garmin GNS or GTN navigators, Garmin G500 or G600 displays, digital engine instrumentation, modern transponders and ADS-B equipment. Garmin G1000 and Garmin Perspective are not typical factory suites for the MU-2.

Buying & value

Prospective buyers should evaluate engine status, propeller times, corrosion history, fuel system condition, landing gear maintenance, pressurization performance and compliance with Mitsubishi service bulletins. MU-2 operation in the United States is subject to specific training requirements under FAA SFAR 108, so pilot qualification and recurrent training are central ownership considerations. Common variants include the short body MU-2B models and long body versions such as the Marquise and Solitaire. Upgrades may include four blade propellers, avionics modernization, autopilot improvements and interior refurbishment. In the used market, the MU-2 is typically positioned as a fast, capable twin turboprop with attractive acquisition cost, offset by the need for disciplined maintenance and type specific training.
