    Thoughts on current airplane market

    Also not 100% sure what you’re seeking… I just sold my plane and the buyer paid cash. Inflation won’t reverse. The hope is that it gets back to a more normal value. Interest rates will go up…Hopefully soon I also don’t think many people on a professional Pilot track are buying planes to get...

    Boosting Wi-Fi in Hangar

    I just got a cellular device instead of trying to boost the already crappy internet. Worked great. Controlled my wifi thermostat, unloaded my engine monitor data, downloaded my nav data/charts and streamed the TV/iPad devices. Well worth the small monthly fee.

    Well, I certainly found the most expensive way to get to Florida.

    Keep 10 on. I told him last time he taxied by that 8 was off. He didn’t seem to care…

    Buying a plane with no logs

    For ME, Starting at your agreed value of 160 and PA32 type: I’d deduct engine (firewall forward) and prop o/h which gets you probably close to 100. Then I’d deduct 40% for no logs and be willing to pay around 60 total. I treated my logbooks like they were worth 6 figures.

    Is it Just Me? A Controller Question. Sorry, lengthy.

    The overall quality of Pilot has dropped considerably over the past decade or so. :)

    Well, I certainly found the most expensive way to get to Florida.

    Better leave a day earlier than planned then. :)

    the Turbo 182 is back in production

    Not sure what the relevance of you quoting my post is? I replied to a guy that was prying into someone’s personal finances online. (While humorously saying “Don’t mean to pry”). If you don’t see value in something then don’t buy it. Are you suggesting that because you don’t see the value then...

    the Turbo 182 is back in production

    Don’t mean to pry, but how much do you have in checking, savings, 401K, IRA’s, ETF’s, mutual funds, crypto… :) Nothing wrong with anyones chosen profession but they don’t all pay the same. Not everyone decided to become a teacher.

    GoPro mounts?

    Think @SixPapaCharlie uses some tape. Maybe that was the one that blew off… :)

    What’s Your Time Source for Logging Flights?

    If you’re that passionate about it, I’m surprised you still log it. I don’t understand the concern. It’s not like people are fighting over jobs and the .2 makes a difference. Take a look around…there’s RJ pilots you wouldn’t let borrow your truck. There’s 23-24 year olds getting hired into...

    What’s Your Time Source for Logging Flights?

    ForeFlight, Hobbs, engine monitor, watch…whichever gives the most favorable data.

    It is cold

    High speed taxi a couple times before takeoff and you’ll be good. It’ll sublimate right off. :)

    Cirrus accident, Knoxville, TN 12/16/21

    It’s because they know controllers. Without that, they would have called an error on a controller for only having 2000 ft and the controller would show the slant range math of more than 2500. :)

    Cirrus accident, Knoxville, TN 12/16/21

    That’s unfortunate. When operating within 2,500 feet of the flight path of the leading aircraft over the surface of the earth and less than 1,000 feet below: (a) TERMINAL. Behind super: (1) Heavy - 6 miles. (2) Large - 7 miles. (3) Small - 8 miles. (b) EN ROUTE. Behind super - 5 miles, unless...

    Where to retire?

    Yeah but, look at property values, crime rates, etc in areas with good public schools vs those without. What came first the chicken or the egg? :) Says a guy whose property tax is 15K more than it would be in Tennessee (with crappy wx and politics). Counting down the days till retirement so I...
