I was just in Kauai last week for a week, I wish I had done something like this while I was there!

the only way there would be a point would be if a 121 operator began operating a single engine aircraft, and the OpSpec required two pilots (since to my knowledge no single engine aircraft type certificate requires two pilots). Then the FO Would need an ATP. But even then the 61.160 R-ATP reg...

I used to do this a lot at the south Florida airports, it seemed that almost all the FBO’s had some form of transportation that would drop or pick up a passenger. I can just about guarantee you aren’t the first person to try this at SMF with their FBO so I’d give the FBO a ring and ask them what...

The article did say this “The rule will apply to existing registrations—one issued in 2020 will now expire in 2027, for instance—as well as new issuances.” so your current registration may be good to go for a 7 year interval from its issuance date

I would say depending on the area the price is high but not outrageous. There is a 2004 G1000 182T for rent at the airport I keep my 182T based at in Florida and they charge $245 an hour wet for it. As a 182T owner, it's a fantastic airplane! However for training I still think you'd come out...

just a note the 182T is not turbo, it’s naturally aspirated. The T182T is the turbo bird

I’m a 757 pilot. We do not have sync for the engines. Some airplanes it’s less noticeable than others, but sometimes upfront It’s noticeable even if we are just barely out of sync. I’ve noticed it’s a bit more noticeable on the PW 757’s v the RR 757’s. But it’s noticeable in both, typically we...

Looks excellent! Enjoy it for many years to come with safe travels! I remember picking my 182 up from the factory and how exciting it was. reading your posts and seeing the pictures remind me of that and it makes me very happy to see someone enjoying that same experience!

There is a G1000 trainer you can get for your PC id highly recommend it. My plane has a G1000 so I’m very familiar with it. I also used to instruct in G1000 airplanes for a while. Biggest thing I noticed with people new to glass is they try to be to precise and wind up chasing. The G1000 with...

182T seems to be starting at $600,000 and the T182T seems to be $653,00 when I got my 182T back in 2012 the cost difference between the T and the TT was about the same. Of course the overall cost of both was signicanfly lower but the delta between the two was roughly the same if I recall...

let’s also not forget the G36 bonanza since it’s inception has had a deice prop but no Fiki. The T182T isn’t the only plane to pull this off. 182T’s never had a hot prop but the T182T’s always had one.

Since this is basically a restart of production I doubt there would be much change from the T182T poh from when they stopped production in 2013/2014 time frame. I'm sure that POH could be found online fairly easily.

There is always a customer base. new 182T production is on a wait list if you're a buyer, I'd imagine the T182T will be the same. New Cirruses are pumping out at a fairly good pace and even those allocations are sold out for a long long time. While that base may not be everyone, there is...

Cessna announced today that the T182T Turbo Skylane is back in production. When I got my bird back in 2012 we didn't go Turbo because the performance wasn't needed for my mission and living in Florida. However for anyone who wants something new and wants the performance or lives out west, it's...

Interesting. I've had several emergencies in my airline career and when I was instructing at a part 141 school, never heard anything from the FSDO any of the times. I guess the companies took care of that in those instances then.

Glad it had the only outcome that really matters, safe on the ground! I’m curious how come the FSDO got involved?

In theory one could ship a piston in an airplane. And therefore I argue that any piston engine could fly above FL250 under its own power, different story.

Here’s mine, not too decorated yet as I just got into it about 2 months, switched from a full service hangar on the other side of the field to my own T hangar. For now just a table to hang out and eat at, my tug, and some shelving for plane things such as oil, GPU, cleaners, life vests etc. In...

The good ‘ol Boeing 757 for work and my 2012 Cessna 182T for personal flying and enjoyment!
