Thanks, very helpful.

Awesome thanks!

That was Neil W requirement not mine. I just reviewed the insurance quotes and there was one quote which was $300 higher but did not require time in type. I have options.

Will do Thanks!

Appreciate that and will keep in mind, may be a fairly long trip. Seems that 182's like to live in the south.

Agreed, but in my case I already have a friend who is airline pilot and used to instruct helping me ferry it back but he has little 182 time.

I have about 6 hours time in a 182 three years ago, maybe that why the insurance was only looking for a couple of hours.

Looks like a I am doing this for purchasing, just trying to get ahead of the game. Looks like I will just get my High Performance sign off in whatever I can locally and then deal with the couple of hours required by insurance when I buy. Thanks for the input.

Thanks that makes sense, my insurance wanted some recent time in the 182 with instructor but no big deal I think it was two or three hours. Do you know off hand what the high performance sign off requirement is?

I am located in northeast Pa and need my 182 checkout along with my high performance rating. I have 6 hours in the 182 therefore not much time needed. My flight school does not have a 182 for training and I am not aware of any school that does. If anyone knows of a school that does have a 182...

I usually land on a 1900 ft runway with lots of room to spare, KFWN is rough and had some ATV traffic on this particular day.

Agree and to have the mindset that they do not happen is dangerous. I had an instance at KFWN which is a tricky airport due to the valley you have to fly through to land on RNWY 21 where the wind turned on me to a tailwind and I ended up floating down the runway, I opted to go around and land...

Congrats!

Jose you are reading into my post, I never even mentioned flaps so there is no connection. I also clarified I usually fly a 172 with some 182 time. My point was simply to say one should not be hesitant to do a go around for safety sake. For the record I have not done a go around since last year...

Jeez guys you make it sound like I have a go around problem.... First I usually fly a rental 172 with some 182 time, I am considering purchasing a 182. My point with go arounds is I am not hesitant to do one if my approach isn't to my satisfaction and there is a chance of maybe side loading a...

Really? I have done many, if I am not happy with my approach it is safer to go around than to force a landing. Just my humble opinion.

Took Allegiant from ABE to sanford over thanksgiving and was pleasantly surprised since I was expecting MD80 or something of that vintage and they were fairly new airbuses.

This is a good question for people like myself considering ownership. I think it boils down to what you are comfortable with, myself I prefer newer over old. Something with less hours appeals to me, I do understand that there is a fine line between a underutilized airplane and low hours. Sitting...

Appreciate that.
