A SG Aviation Storm flies about 600 nm, roughly 1,111 km, which is about 4 h 19 min in still air at typical cruise.
A SG Aviation Storm costs about EUR 777 a month to run, or about EUR 88 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The SG Aviation Storm is an Italian two-seat light aircraft in the microlight and light-sport category, produced by SG Aviation at Sabaudia. The design traces its roots to the Storm family developed in the 1990s, with later production continuing under SG Aviation. It is a low-wing, all-metal monoplane with side-by-side seating and tricycle landing gear, aimed at private touring, training, and sport flying. For buyers, the Storm matters because it combines conventional handling and metal construction with operating costs typical of the Rotax-powered light aircraft class.
Published figures vary by national certification basis, landing gear configuration, propeller, and engine installation. Rotax 912 ULS equipped SG Aviation Storm examples are commonly associated with cruise speeds around 115 to 120 knots, with maximum speeds quoted higher in some factory data. Range is often listed at up to about 540 nautical miles in economical cruise, subject to fuel capacity and reserve policy. Service ceiling is commonly published at roughly 14,500 feet. Useful load depends heavily on empty weight and whether the aircraft is registered at 450 kg or 472.5 kg maximum takeoff weight. The most typical powerplant is the 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS, although individual aircraft should be checked for approved engine, propeller, and weight documentation.
The Storm has a compact two-seat cockpit with dual controls and side-by-side seating. Cabin width and baggage allowance are modest compared with certified four-seat aircraft, so buyer evaluation should include a seated cockpit check and a review of actual baggage limits in the aircraft documents. Avionics are aircraft-specific rather than standardized. Used examples may have traditional analog flight instruments, basic VFR radios and transponders, or later glass-panel upgrades using light-aircraft equipment such as Dynon, Garmin, MGL, or similar systems. Garmin Perspective and G1000 suites are not typical factory installations for the SG Aviation Storm.
On the used market, the SG Aviation Storm is usually positioned as an economical two-seat tourer and sport aircraft rather than a high-payload utility platform. Buyers should verify build standard, registration category, logbook continuity, engine hours, propeller condition, landing gear history, and compliance with any applicable service bulletins. Particular attention should be paid to empty weight, avionics legality for the intended airspace, fuel system configuration, and whether modifications are properly recorded. Common value drivers include Rotax 912 ULS condition, glass-panel upgrades, paint and corrosion condition, and whether the aircraft has fixed or retractable gear where applicable.
