Setting the bar higher each time, nice work Jack!

Slope not considered, that's a tall order for a Malibu/Mirage. (1700 feet) I generally fly the PA46s a few times a week and while not impossible, it's challenging to get 5 people in that airplane and be in the envelope. Pretty strong airframe though, I'm betting everyone was fine.

Almost sounds like you were flirting with wave activity except for the bumps.

Head up to the East end of the island, absolutely beautiful country. A bit chilly this time of year, make sure you go back during the warmer months!

Not sure what the manual will tell you, but I'll confidently tell you on the G1000 it displays down to the single digits in flight. I had a PA-46 on a return to service flight down to 8 knots across the ground, not sure if that was forward or backward groundspeed. I'd imagine as long as the AHRS...

Great video, really enjoyed it and excellent instruction from Doug.

Bucs are great fliers. Almost as maneuverable as a Jetski on the step below 40 knots, you can just toss the things about. It's really a lot of fun. About as well mannered as a high thrustline amphibian can be, it has a predictable porpoising tendency on the water which is easily corrected for...

One of the most enjoyable threads I've read through to date! Thanks!

Short wing Arrows fly pretty nicely, the extra 20 horse in the II is nice. Arrow III is okay too, they all glide equally awful with the gear down. Non-turbo normal tail Lance is nicer. Same systems, a LOT more room, with the expense of two extra cylinders and a few more GPH. Nice airplanes. I'd...

Kelvin hit it - early Mirage or a straight Malibu. 200 true at FL200 on 21-22 gph. Pressurized, comfortable enough for the people in the back. Baggage behind the rear seats (100lbs) and unpressurized baggage up in the nose compartment. (100 lbs) It does okay enough in ice. Don't plan on climbing...

Buy a nice Saratoga or Lance for your short trips, and use the other $100k to charter 60 some hours of a PC12 with.

Glad to hear it!

If you want to talk Seawind, I have 250 some hours in one. I can talk Lake with you as well, but I have time in only the Buccaneer.

790 or 990? OP says 990 but that Newegg link is the 790. Either way you're looking at a PCI-E x16 card. And now I'm reminded of this... [yt]

Looked up the tech guide for that machine, looks like just a regular old PCI-E x16 slot, and Newegg actually has a filter for videocard dimensions in length, you might find something here. Better than the onboard video? Probably by a small bit. Hope this helps!

This project interests me greatly, definitely following along here and on FB!

Glad to hear it, and welcome. I've been the "Jason" in your story to a few guys, believe me when I say it's hugely satisfying to us when you're back in the saddle and proficient and making good choices again. Hope it all goes smoothly for you!

You're local enough to Columbia in Bloomsburg PA, N13. Might be worth giving them a call.

PA46-350P...42" and 2500RPM full rich for takeoff in a TIO540...climb power is 35" and 2500RPM and leaned to 32-35 GPH, CHTs never go above 360. There's no limitation or time restriction on full rated power but it just doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling running this thing at 42" for half...

Sweeeet!
