It's tough to say on the rates without knowing more about the plane. Does it have a IFR GPS? Weather? These things cost a lot of money yearly for the subscriptions. 40.00 per hour DRY seems like a lot for a 172. As for the insurance and annual I'm in a 5 way partnership on a 182 that is...

Now your post I find insulting and revolting. Believing in God does not make you a bigot. While there are religious people who are, it's not a requirement for having belief.

While I don't care what you do when your not in the cockpit ( yes I know it's a lame joke :)) I think a more important question might be what your behavior in public is. Making out with your significant other at a flyin might elicit one group of responses while introducing him as...

They do make very advanced fuel gauges. It's a fuel flow indicator and tells you to within a .1 of a gallon how much you have used. It will not tell you if you have a leak in the tank or give you a good answer if you don't tell it how much fuel you had in the tank to start with. Tanks leaks...

I find it interesting that for someone who claims to be unable to post into a discussion , you have been posting quite a bit.

You have gotten the same level of respect you showed the participants of this board right from the start.

When I've been a location that I want to fly in just once, I don't bother with a checkout, I just get the CFI to sit in the right seat and watch me.

How about you just stop reading it?

Not sure what you mean with the smiley face as that is certainly not bug free code.

The OP asked for advice, which he got in great abundance. I may be harsh but I will throw in my opinion. I don't believe his CFI should have signed off his BFR without making sure he could operate all the equipment in his plane. The OP said he did not know how to operate the 430 or the VOR...

At one point the OP posted that he was not comfortable using the Garmin 430 in the panel. He did not say if this plane was what he got his BFR in to resume flying. I don't understand how someone can use a uncertified unit like FF/Ipad and yet be unable to use a 430. I can't imagine a CFI who...

James you really need to go look at the definition of obsolete again. Nowhere in the definition does it say anything abut a unit being crap.

If you do some research on Lycoming and Continental engines you will see the improvements over time like roller tappets and different alloys in bearings. These changes get incorporated into factory reman engines but not into a rebuild from a third party. As for the GPS, I know a great deal...

Could you play the piano before? :)

The engine was overhauled, not factory reman so it's the old technology. it has a obsolete small display GPS it does not have ADSB out ( garmin 327 ) no engine monitor It looks live a nice plane but for that much money I'd keep looking.

Weather.com is calling for a 90% chance of rain on Saturday.

Weather is not looking good at this point.

The betterment clause does not have to do with damage history. Unlike a car where if a part is replaced due to a accident regardless of the age of the part, in a plane where there are life limited parts they will prorate the replacement costs. As a example the mags on our engine were...

Having had a prop strike last year I can tell you how we did it. I paid the insurance deductible and the costs that the insurance did not cover ( the betterment clause ). Since it we had 1500 hours on a 2000 TBO we decided to go the overhaul route rather then the tear down route so the...

I downloaded and installed a new app called AvNav EFB just before Osh and have played with it a little. The advantage it has over Naviator is that it has seamless charts and it also has geo referenced plates. It's 5.00 a month after a 45 day trial and it supports teh Dual xps170 ADSB receiver.
