ha, yea I have a P210N... so I understand, but if I wanted to haul lots of bulky gear and the tougher side of strips.. the 206 is a great plane too.. it just depends on what Types of flying matters to the buyer...

Cessna 210 or 206... both can handle lots of load and size... p210 if he wants a pressurized cabin...Very forgiving airplanes

Go to sunglasses hut and buy one of those sunglasses cleaner kits... a squirt bottle of soapy blue water and a microfiber cloth... I called garmin and they approve

iPad mini 5.. it is much easier to see and manipulate in flight and still small enough to fit many places... I have a 10xs max.. same as the 11 max or pro, whatever they call the big one.. with the Apple case/extended battery it lasts a long long time personally had droids for years, like them...

I have a Garmin gtn750 and g500txi...along with a good auto pilot, it reduces workload and increases situational awareness... I have not started using Garmin telligence yet, but I plan to soon, which will be another tool to streamline workload

if she is not happy in a PC12, just commit to first class tickets for the rest of your life, you will still come out ahead financially... or scare tactic her into submission with the threat of coronavirus on public transportation...

failure rates (not catastrophic failure, think dispatch rates and unscheduled Mx diversions) I stated are for big bore high hp pistons only...300+ hp...relevant to the conversation, your numbers include low performance engines...small engines are irrelevant to comparisons ... Maybe the da-62...

Most people have top speed goggles on.. that is all they hear... Safety.. the safety built into the reliability and performance is far beyond any piston plane.. and an sr22t which I like.. is not even close.. no turbine, no pressurization And an m600 is a great plane, so is a tbm.. they are...

the p210 silver eagle offers more bang for the buck than anything close to its specs .. I don’t even know of a plane that can match its specs... certainly not for the dollars 210-215 KTAS cruise 53 knot stall with de-ice boots (43 with STOL kit) 2500fpm climb 4000-5000fpm descent Can take...

CESSNA P210 (and T210 non pressurized) were made in significant quantities, in piston the new vitatoe 550 makes it a really good option and the ultimate expression is the silver eagle with the rolls Royce m250-B17F/2 engine. both are pressurized, (not T210) retractable gear and will out perform...

On the color schemes it looks like they took a page out of the 1970 dodge catalog.. scat pack... which is very cool stuff.. exciting and bold and fun... gotta love that...

For those Silver Eagle fans.. I came across this cool calendar... https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Store/Silver+Eagle+2020-3214024509

I am not comparing a twin to my plane, nor twins vs singles AND I would take a single turbine over a piston twin all day long... stats would show it is far safer...and easier to fly...higher reliability etc... if I ever did buy a twin for keeps, it would be turbine ... but this conversation is...

What density altitude Single engine capability (in a twin) would you think necessary when flying in/out of 5000’ field elevation on hot day? 9000’ is sounding reasonably safe to me.., the schools around here must think the same...

this discussion is helping me clarify my mission here, so a sincere thank you to those who have responded... To respond to a few things... first, forget I said anything about possible insurance reduction... it was a minor potential “icing” statement, not a “cake” statement...and I would not...

1. As to the Aerostar comment.. in the want category.. in the Re-sale.. not so much 2. I want a solid 100-200 hrs... no one ever became minimally competent at anything in a weekend.. not a chance.. IMHO

well that is the order I am going.. so no change there... Will have IFR in spring... I think commercial and multi will help with insurance
