I call BS on this.. I think if you set manifold/prop full forward and leaned to 100ROP you MIGHT hit 145-147TAS... 75% power at any altitude no way. The PA28 airframe is just not speedy. Whatever your using to check your TAS has to be off. Check TAS by flying 4 headings 90 degrees off from each...

Once you get your Instrument rating and around 750 hours total time I think the insurance companies will be alot more friendly. If your willing to pay 1-2% premium I don't think you'll have a problem. The key is securing your IFR ticket and building time. Preferably in a complex high performance...

You'll see many bonanzas upgraded with tip tanks. Dshannon first made tips able to hold an extra 30 gallons and now the ones they make hold an extra 40 gallons. I have the 30 gallon tips (15 per side) on my F33A. This gives it 104 usable. I have gone from NJ to Fort Lauderdale, FL non stop a few...

I requested a test flight when I bought my bonanza and wouldn't have bought the plane or any other plane with out being granted a test flight. Why would you even be against this? I don't need to takeoff or land the plane or even sit in the left seat. But you danm well bet I'm going to want to...

Search threads for an inexpensive medical o2 system to get you started. Not only will having o2 greatly improve your options for this endeavor but it will greatly open up the capabilities of your aircraft. I have a home rig medical o2 setup for two that i use in my bonanza. All in cost me around...

If you can afford the slightly higher cost of capital for the 182 VS the 172 than the slightly added MX expense will not even be noticeable to you. Overhauls are once every 2000hours. Really not that frequently and constant speed props arent exactly mx hogs. Don’t overthink it seriously. If the...

I dont care for mooneys. They just seem cramped to me and the seating position isn't the best. Saratoga is going to be slower than the bonanza or cessna350/400 AND burn more fuel because the Lycomings don't really normally operate well LOP. The cabin probably the best though. I have a bonanza...

Thanks for the replies. Will most likely go IFR now.

Hey guys I'm planning on a long cross country this saturday from my base in South Jersey to KPMP. It looks like Trump will be in town and the outer ring of the TFR covers KPMP. I just want to confirm but from my understanding I can fly through the outer ring VFR and into KPMP fine as long as I...

I'm based out of a PHL suburb in South Jersey. I think part of the problem is there are just too many airports on one unicom frequency. The FAA should come up with a few more unicom frequency to split them up more. On a nice weather Saturday or Sunday 122.7/8/9 are just completely jammed...

Get the A36. 165-170KTAS at altitude burning 13.5GPH. This speed increase from your 182 will make farther trips much more manageable and those 300-400nm trips much more enjoyable. For the C206 or the PA32 to even get within 10knots of bonanza speed your going to be running 18GPH through it. No...

+1 call me unreasonable for thinking this but I cant help thinking that going anywhere in Mexico except the extremely popular tourist spots is not much different than visiting Iraq. No Thanks..

If I were you I wouldn't worry so much about such trivial bs. Log it all as dual given / PIC and apply to the airlines.

My girlfriend would be dead. No doubt about it. I've tried to offer her the yoke and get her to make some turns and fly but she is afraid of it.

Also do I need that CGA870 to 540 adapter if I plan to just get the tank refilled at a local welding or medical supplier?

Probably about $2000.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much gonna order up my rig tomorrow. What is the main difference between the pendant style and the mustache style cannulas? Is one supposed to be more comfortable?

A thread with links to the exact parts may be very helpful. So for two people you just use a "Y" fitting off of the regulator so it feeds two cannulas? What is the $50 fill adapter for? Is that so an FBO can fill the tank vs a medical/welding supply place? I live on the east coast at sea level...

No way. The aviation oxygen system are conservatively 4 times more expensive than a typical medical setup.

So a friend of mine let me borrow his 02 rig for a short 300mile cross country trip I did today in my bonanza. Went up to 15.5k on the eastbound leg, picked up a 50 knot tailwind and saw personal record groundspeeds at personal record fuel burns. Wow I've really been missing out on this high...
