    Cherokee 6 vs Saratoga SP

    I owned a Cherokee 235 until last September. A fabulous plane with a great useful load. Cruised at 135kts TAS although a little fuel hungry, 16PGH or so. I am 6ft 270ilbs. The Cherokee was little tight. I decided I really wanted a Cherokee 6 or Saratoga Turbo. I ruled out the 6 in favor of a...

    Do I need to keep Superceded WB and other info in POH?

    Yes, it was weighed at a very reputable shop after a complete panel upgrade. That's why it didn't make sense to keep the old WB stuff in the POH.

    Do I need to keep Superceded WB and other info in POH?

    I just purchased a new plane - a 1994 Mooney Ovation. The POH (which is also the AFM) has a bunch of old W&B sheets from previous equipment upgrades. The aircraft was weighed in 2019 and a new W&B sheet issued. Do I need to keep the old W&B sheets in the POH? Also, there’s a bunch of AFM...

    importing an airplane from Canada to U.S.

    Best done via escrow in the US. They knew how to do it.

    importing an airplane from Canada to U.S.

    Good place to find quotes on insurance before deciding on a plane?

    So, go with a broker you like - I recommend Travers Insurance, but there they all just put your request out to market. After you've done that, get a quote from AVEMCO. They don't work with brokers so you wouldn't have a quote from them if you only used a broker.

    First plane for family of 5

    The only piston single 6 seaters you'll find that are remotely useable (and 6 adults is not happening regardless) are Bonanzas and the Cherokee 6/Lance/Saratoga family. A Cherokee 6 will fly whatever you can stuff into it, although you won't break any speed records. Lances and early gen...

    AOPA - VREF IS GONE

    So it looks like VREF is now no longer a feature with AOPA membership. Anyone else know how to get valuations?

    FIKI cert Mooney adequate for regular winter trips to Newfoundland and Labrador from New England?

    Main difference between the CAV TKS FIKI and Inadvertant system is the FIKI has dual pumps and heated stall sensor. This is according to the folks at CAV whom I spoke with last week about this exact issue.

    Choosing the plane for Winter mountain trips

    just to indulge you…your best mix of performance, physical space and load is an early model Saratoga Turbo PA32R-301T. The early ones had a decent useful load whereas the later ones had a lot less due to all the “luxury” features that are now old and outdated lol. Turbo will get you in and out...

    Choosing the plane for Winter mountain trips

    Respectfully, you’re a long way away from safely flying in and out of high altitude, challenging airports. Factor in weather, IMC, winds and you’re looking at a challenging mission for any pilot let alone A pilot who is still a student pilot. It will probably take you a few hundred hours until...

    New case against flight tracking

    Yes, she's OK with her whereabouts being public and all-over social media if it's about her concerts or celebrity appearances but if that public info is about her jet - cease and desist! As for the guy mentioning the license plate issue, most people that own jets (speaking from experience lol)...
