    Isn’t ILS/LPV supposed to be “more difficult” than VOR IAP?

    Having a chart/ mapping out your aircraft’s power settings and speeds/ etc.. helps with managing the approach and step down fixes .... this chart is for a p210n silver eagle

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    I don’t know.. they are not trying to sell me the system..give them a call.. I have a turbine aircraft and am considering a 182 for Rocky Mountain camping and trainer for My wife as she gets her Ppl.. I sought out the obviously better for the application technology.. I found them.. I’m...

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    I do not own one and I have not flown one... I have spent considerable time discussing the system with the designers. Everything about their design makes sense in performance, engine reliability, cost etc...I hope to take a test flight in one soon. As soon as I can get down to Denver. My wife is...

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they are not... you can spout turbo theory all day long and it is worthless if not applied... the FAT system in a 182 will out climb and out perform a turbo in every mode of flight from 5000’ to 14,000... and probably from sea level to...

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    they both produce net gains... stupid example... numbers don’t lie if you don’t lie about the numbers

    Rusty pilot--margin for error question

    Good thinking on wanting to stay safe... It doesn’t sound like you know the V speeds of your aircraft. Before any flying is done you should Know them, memorize them, print them out and Tape them to your dash... until they are memorized and second nature... operate by them... add 1/2 gust factor...

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    You mean that with turbos, all that weight and heat and pushing an impeller comes at zero penalty? Like magic? It’s all just free power?... Wow.. you must be a genius... all power comes at a price.. all... All Designs have certain parameters they are optimized For.. a Tesla is very...

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    While many like to quote theoretical designs... there is a practical application for each system... Who flies a Cessna 182 to 16k? Almost no one... if you regularly are up above 14k’ , then a turbo will be a better option... in the piston world : Sea level to 3-5k’- naturally aspirated is...

    This is a brilliant system... power where you need it for mountain flying

    Supercharging - What's the catch?

    For a 182, this Supernormalized system seems perfect on paper..it is really designed to optimize performance for the 5000’ to 14,000’ density alt crowd... perfect for mountain flying in a 182... the turbo will win above 14,000 , but really how many folks cruise around above 14,000’ in a 182...

    Pulled the trigger - I am dumb - Kate 1.5 coming soon

    Big shout out thank you to Ryan Klems.. thanks for the help! As for CWS.. while I typically will also use the HDG and twist a knob...there are times where cws is key.. such as climbing out on takeoff to 1500agl @100knots... to get to a safe return with engine out altitude, with a flight...

    Pulled the trigger - I am dumb - Kate 1.5 coming soon

    Cws is a great feature.. you can use it to recapture or temporary course deviations to go around a cloud or traffic... without ever taking your hand off the yoke.. in a single button maneuver.. the one described above, takes 3 steps and takes longer to perform.. particularly in a heavy workload...

    172 or 182 for PPL

    no, not too much, insurance may be higher for the first year.. but if you are going to fly all over the country your first year, you should have a mentor pilot with you anyway as you learn... as for finances.. you will have to define that specifically if you want some clear answers From the...

    172 or 182 for PPL

    Train in a 172 or 182, whatever the flight school of choice has available.. if they have a 182 to train in, train in that... the 172 is small and underpowered....then get a p210n to fly around the country in...there is a flight school in Phoenix / Scottsdale that rents a 210 for training.. I...

    Pulled the trigger - I am dumb - Kate 1.5 coming soon

    I do receive a terrain warning, but not a 500’ call out (unless the terrain warning is preset to 500’), but it does not say 500’.... does yours? I have v6.62.. it is my understanding in calling garmin that the preset for 500’ is taws b... I would be pleased if I were wrong and this is something...

    Pulled the trigger - I am dumb - Kate 1.5 coming soon

    Tell me , what do you like better about the 275.. on first glance it seems they put the knob on the wrong side to be a similar logic to the g500txi or gtn750...
