PlaneFox tracks 3 Vulcanair V1.0 aircraft for sale and re-reads every one of them from the broker and dealer sites it watches, so the figures below move when the market moves. Every number on this page is measured from those live listings, not taken from a published price guide.
A Vulcanair V1.0 flies about 591 nm, roughly 1,095 km, which is about 4 h 33 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Vulcanair V1.0 costs about EUR 1,858 a month to run, or about EUR 196 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Vulcanair V1.0 is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing piston aircraft built by Vulcanair in Italy. It is part of the company’s light-aircraft line derived from the Partenavia P.64 family, but the V1.0 is a distinct modern production model with its own certification and equipment fit. The aircraft first flew in the early 2010s, received EASA certification in 2013 and FAA approval in 2017. Its role is straightforward: a fixed-gear touring, training and utility aircraft with metal construction, good visibility and practical load-carrying ability.
Typical published figures for the Vulcanair V1.0 include a cruise speed of about 130 knots, depending on weight, altitude and power setting. Range is commonly quoted at roughly 600 nautical miles with reserves, making it suitable for regional travel as well as school and private-owner use. The aircraft is powered by a 180 hp Lycoming IO-360-M1A fuel-injected four-cylinder engine driving a fixed-pitch propeller. Maximum takeoff weight is approximately 2,557 lb, with useful load commonly around the 1,000 lb class, subject to individual equipment. Service ceiling is published at about 14,000 feet.
The cabin seats four in a conventional two-plus-two layout. The high wing, broad glazing and upright seating position give the V1.0 a practical feel for instruction, sightseeing and short-field operations. Access is by side doors, and the baggage area is sized for typical light-aircraft touring rather than large cargo use. Many V1.0 aircraft were delivered with Garmin glass-panel equipment, commonly centered on the Garmin G500 flight display with Garmin GTN-series navigation and communication units, although exact installations vary by delivery standard and later retrofit.
On the used market, the Vulcanair V1.0 occupies a niche between familiar legacy trainers such as the Cessna 172 and newer composite or diesel alternatives. Buyers should review airframe total time, training use, damage history, corrosion protection, landing gear condition, engine hours and propeller records. Avionics configuration matters, especially ADS-B compliance, WAAS capability, autopilot fit and display support status. Because the fleet is smaller than mainstream U.S. trainers, parts availability, maintenance familiarity and importer or factory support should be checked before purchase. Well-equipped examples appeal to buyers wanting a simple metal aircraft with modern avionics and a useful four-seat payload.
