Training in a Cirrus will cost more. If you want to own one, then training in it will help get hours. I don't know if it would help enough to offset the higher cost though. I'd suggest PPL training in a 172 or other trainer. Then switch to a SR22 for instrument training. If you really want...

I write the weather down, but not the extras nor the time. It's shorthand and habit. When it's IMC it's nice to know what to expect from the wind once breaking out as it can be quite different from above or even in the clouds. It's just the letter, wind, visibility, clouds and barometer. I'm...

^This - meteorologists are not that particularly accurate that far out.

Currently a 2006 SR22 G2. Love to fly something burning JetA and pressurized, but that's not in the budget; I've seen some I could buy, but $1,000/hr, and up, is just too much. Wayne

Just curiosity, why? Sounds like your Velocity is a really good one. Wayne

With you planning on being in Europe for a few years I'd say selling would be the best option. That's especially true with the market for used planes being up so much right now. If the configuration of your Seneca III is special for you, something that would be difficult/expensive to recreate...

I do. Not always over 500 miles. We fly to from Atlanta to Lexington to visit our daughter. That's 380 miles of driving, about 6 hours on a good trip. Or it's 1:30 - 1:45 of flying. I've driven it only twice in 6+ years and once was over 7 hours; first time was to move her into her dorm her...

Still out. :( The weekend of the 11th is way too busy for me. Hopefully the long range forecast is wrong as it has rain. That far out it's just a guess. Wayne

Who says his attorney hasn't told him that? o_O He's just smarter than the attorney, dontcha know. :rolleyes:

I would expect uphill to noticeably impact range, but not as much on the AC/heat. Some sure, but not drastically. AC is definitely needed regularly here in Atlanta. Fortunately my drives are short around town. The EPA range number for the Niro is 239 miles, but I've watched a report that a...

The batteries are pretty good now. Yeah, they are getting better and still have plenty of room to improve. There are other things that need to change for higher EV usage. More charging stations, but more importantly a way for renters to charge at home. The vast majority of driving is local...

It should be charging while you are having fun at the beach. That should be way more time than needed to recharge with a high powered charger. Not an issue for me though. I fly to the beach. :cool: It's been a while since I drove to the beach. :D When the kids were younger the youngest...

Too big for the tiny garage in our townhome. :( My convertible Mustang fits, but tighter than it should be. I'm looking at the Kia Niro EV once I get tired of the Mustang. The convertible Mustang is terribly impractical. Lots of fun, but impractical.

Sounds like a good idea, when it's warmer. ;)

We do a monthly fee to cover the fixed costs and an hourly rate to cover the variable costs. Current monthly fee is $600/per owner and the hourly (wet) rate is $168/flight hour. The hourly rate is built from: $65/flight hour (maintenance reserves, oil, etc.) plus fuel calculated at 18 gal/flight...

Way to go! Wayne

I find it best / easiest to buy it like I want it; similar to planes. Now, I've upgraded them at times versus buying a new one. My current laptop I switched from HD to SDD, but that was a few years after purchasing and the price of SDDs had dropped a lot. On a prior laptop I have added...

Congrats! Too bad 100 wasn't more special. Earlier this year I thought I missed 200 being special. Then I found I'd missed entering one in my tracker spreadsheet, so 200 was visiting our youngest daughter in Pueblo. :D Lots of repeats, from visiting our middle daughter in Lexington, to...

One of our partners is looking to sell. He wants a turbo model and closer to his home. We have a 2006 SR22 NA G2. 430W/430. Hangared at RYY.
