Unfortunately it is an auto (wife insisted she be able to drive it, and she can't/won't drive a stick). But I do own a proper manual car, a 2008 Viper.

What's all this ATS-V, CT5-V talk? I'll just leave this here...

Foreflight doesn't offer phone support. Says so right on the website. " Phone Support We cannot offer on-demand phone support at this time. With email, we can respond to all customers very quickly and ensure nobody has to endure annoying hold music."

Most non-supercharged Tbones will do 155-165kts (varies based on model, weight, specific airframe) on 22-28gph. But many also have a ~2000lb useful load and SUV-level baggage capacity and passenger room. I may not be the fastest or most efficient airplane around, but I'm flying around in a...

I own 2 GO435s, and the 480s are better supported (though the 435s are plenty supportable if you're a decent parts sleuth). Lots of spares floating around if you know where to look/who to talk to. True overhauls are getting harder to come by, but not for lack of parts just lack of interested...

I know this plane and the seller. If anyone is genuinuley interested, feel free to reach out and I can provide info on TBone ownership generally. This airplane has good bones and is a hell of a value at the listed price. If I had a place to park it, I'd buy it from Tim.

The finance world also generally uses m=1,000 and mm=1,000,000, at least in shorthand.

"Many of you may wonder..." This screams of someone who thinks they're more important than they really are. It's more likely that almost nobody wonders why you're no longer with EAA; not because they know you (or don't), but because they just don't care.

Look into Approach Fast Stack. I used them for my own "DIY" avionics upgrade. Very, very reasonable pricing for what is provided. Saved me a ton on shop labor.

The AIM is guidance, not legally binding. The AFMS is the controlling, legally-binding document in this instance. The AFMS controls over the AIM every time.

The Approved Flight Manual Supplement for your specific GPS will tell you when you must have a current database. As a general rule, most of the AFMSs will say you can fly terminal and enroute with an expired database if you verify that the information is correct. Keep in mind, while airports...

Easiest way is to just control when you give the endorsement. Any concern at all? Just do the logbook endorsement the morning of the checkride, before the DPE shows up (or the day before, etc.). At least limits your exposure.

If it doesn't have a reasonably modern IFR GPS installed, who do you anticipate providing training to in that airplane (you said a goal was to provide training in it after you get your CFI)? Do you believe you're not doing those students a disservice by knowingly training them in a plane that...

This really isn't that complicated, despite some of the more abstract comments about approval methods, etc. That's all fine and good from an academic perspective, but let's be practical (and helpful) here: If you want to install the unit VFR-only, there's plenty of guidance that it's a minor...

Yes, the datacards are the exact same. PCMCIA-style cards.

I've used them at 1k1 (Stearman Field, Benton, KS). They actually work really well, even on my Twin Bonanza. But they're pricey, so I haven't bought a set. Where would one purchase heavy dock line like that?

This is why any plane owner needs to own more than 1 airplane. It's critical to have a backup plane available at all times.

If you're looking at spending $750k+ on a brand new SR22, the cost for a lawyer to review and consult on these issues will be a drop in the bucket.

The altimeter is probably a more reliable method of determining that you're descending through 3000... :)
