    best pressurized twin piston

    I haven't seen one with a potty seat, so that may be a no go with the wife and kids. I am good for 5-6 hours but my crew is only good for about 2-3. I would love to take a look at one up close, anyone have one near MN?

    best pressurized twin piston

    Everyone is scared of a p Navajo but no one knows what they are talking about. IF things break they are hard to find but it was a reliable plane for us up until a mechanic didn't complete his work. If you know how to treat an engine they are a good engine. I hear talk about how quiet a 421 is...

    best pressurized twin piston

    The 414 usually has a different cabin layout, so i thought it was different/smaller. We definitely need the useful load of the 421 or 414 ram. There are a few low to mid time 421's out there right now with nice panels for a good price(around $150,000), 414 ram's are a little tougher to find...

    Is it a too big jump?

    Get a couple of hundred hours in a smaller twin first then move up. I bought my Seneca II, did my training, and flew it about 300 hours then moved up to a pa-31p. If you clearly layout with your instructor how you will be doing engine shutdowns you will be fine training it a turbo charged...

    best pressurized twin piston

    I have looked at some Aerostar's online, but they look pretty small in the cabin. Also I believe usefull load is pretty low?

    Right now the budget doesn't allow for a turboprop.

    best pressurized twin piston

    What do you hate about the 421? The 414 is a much smaller cabin isn't it?

    best pressurized twin piston

    We are unfortunately in the market for a cabin class pressurized twin piston due to a gear collapse on our p Navajo. I have been eyeing 421's mostly but am interested in any input on other options. I loved our pa-31p but am shying away from them due to lack of parts and a&p's familiar with...

    We are in Andros right now from MN, we are here for three weeks. We are planning our first out island trip this thursday. We came here two years ago for the first time and had to come back. We left last Thursday night and flew to kcsv in TN and finished the trip with a stop in it is...

    List of airports with on site resturants in MN, ND or SD?

    I'm not sure if you can park by the restaurant, it is at the terminal not by the FBO. Otherwise the FBO has a courtesy car and there is a great truck stop restaurant not far from the airport. Full disclosure, I have not been to the airport's restaurant.

    Bahamas for a new pilot?

    We flew there two years ago, right after getting my instrument rating. I believe the best thing you can do to retain knowledge is to use the heck out of it right after the checkride. Be smart and do lots of planning, but don't be scared to use it. Customs on both sides was a breeze, but have...

    FS: 1955 Cessna 310

    It is still shown on their web site, but they apparently aren't interested in selling it. Every time I have talked to them the price has gone up and the story has changed.
