It is also a 60 plus year old design. It has (if I remember correctly) 2 reported failures outside of failures that were determined to have occurred because the airframe was overloaded due to pilot error. I found that about 33000 various PA28's and about 7800 PA32's have been built. So around...

Someone in Maryland does PA46 specific training. The Martix is 30 hours ( from what I remember), while the Malibu is 40. It is an intentese 1 week course, and from what I have heard most insurance companies require this course or something very similar before they will sign you off in the...

But you have to look at how heavily that equation is tilted to the 100 hr inspections. A personal plane never getting 100 hr inspections is 85,000 hrs. What plane is ever going to hit that? I know that many PA28's have some 100 hr checks. I would be curious what the average is? If you say...

I noticed that. Was something changed or the use of the 32R's was deemed different enough ( not used for training) that it is not seen as an issue? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Out of curiosity, I own a PA32R- 301. I noticed the AD applies to PA32's with the 300 designation but not the 301's. What changed? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

This is how I read it also. I think the FAA took those high cycle flight school planes and are attempting to factor in the added training abuse. The average owner that goes and flies does not pile on take off and landings. I think at times when training I landed upwards of 8 times in an hour...

I came from the other side, having already owned the plane but wanting to get partners to lesson costs. I basically started asking CFI's and talking to other pilots which leads to people that may be open to partnership. I basically followed up on those leads personally. Without placing a...

I believe Best Buy is running holiday specials on the iPad 2018 (6 th gen). It is the best bang for the buck, and works as well as the pro 90% of the time. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ok we had some discussion about magnets in iPads and our compasses. So I did a little experiment ( maybe I was stupid to do this but it was interesting), and the magnets do pack a punch. This is mainly the pencil magnet on the iPad 11 ( which seems like the strongest one). It effects the...

Just to show what it looks like on an iPad 11. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Looks like ForeFlight has already been updated to use the entire screen (I have found a few apps which have not yet). The maps are very crisp and scroll perfectly. My 5th generation iPad would lag or catch at times, this is 100% smooth. So yes FF looks great. Also the pencil sticks nice and...

I broke down and got a iPad Pro 11. Damn the screen seems massive, and much clearer than the iPad 9.7 I replaced. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I have measured the iPad vs. the current Pro 11 ( I am still trying to talk myself out of getting on). The pro is about 1/2 inch more on the wide axis and about 1/4 inch on the narrow. I also felt it is thinner and a hair lighter than the vanilla iPad. The screen is nicer on the Pro. The pro...

How do these newer designs address the other large problem they had with supersonic planes for commercial use, high costs due to very poor fuel efficiency? From what I have read about older designs is that between about mach 0.9 and about mach 1.2 the planes are very inefficient and burn tons...

Anyone else waiting on their low pass SVFR clearance and instructions? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

100% agree. The only plane mentioned that will fit your bike easily. Get one with club seating and the rearmost seats come out. Will be able to fit 4 people, a bike some luggage with weight to spare. No other plane mentioned here so far can do that. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

As far as I have seen, they have met the 4 passengers full fuel goal (using 175#). They have fallen a bit short on the cruise speed but are getting about 192 kts at fast cruise with an IO-540 (the mogas approved version which is why they swapped out the 390 because it was never going to get...

Now I kinda have the opposite issue. Where I leaving from is predicting scattered t storms, but high ceilings. Home is predicting partly sunny, no issues. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Made it down in about 2 hours. Weather thought about going south on me, and was on the fence since for the last 25 minutes of the ride was predicting t storms. But since I knew it was clear till southern Virginia I went knowing I may have to stop. There did seem to be about a 2 hr window...

Robbinsville (N87) has always had the cutout for this TFR. Despite that the TFR still scares weekend flyers away. I have flow around and into N87 several times with the TFR yp, it does not look any different this time. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
