Like any insurance, the BIG PRINT GIVETH, and small print taketh away. Do your good diligence.

Healthwarehouse.com out of Kentucky. I’ve used for few years. Very professional, above board, and prices on many drugs can’t be beat.

Amarosis fugax is a symptom that has life threatening consequences(temporal arthritis, carotid artery atherosclerosis, cardiac emboli, even brain tumor, etc,) The last thing I would be worried about is my medical until a definitive diagnosis is made.

Since you are over 60, I do think age becomes a factor in LTD, ie social security benefits.

Neurological defect, it is not a migraine but a vascular etiology. Needs a complete vascular workup for sure. Yes treated like a brain TIA.

Would have to read the policy to determine what is considered a disability. I could buy a policy that would pay if unable to perform my job as a pilot(expensive) or one where I could not perform any job(cheaper).

No, no, no unless you want a bunch of angry local pilots.

Main thing is you take what you can get, positive or negative(up drafts, down drafts). In my twin Comanche, I might not have been able to fly over the highest mountain, but I could travel hundreds of miles to lower terrain SE. What bites you is when you try to get more performance out of the...

Regarding the size of the vertical stab, I assume the blue line is quite high. As long as you don’t get slow it should fly fine. Also the engines are quite close to center line. Shape of the fuselage also might give some yaw stability.

Maintenance, landing gear, rear engine cooling, cont io360 not exactly bullet proof, not easy access to engine, unique systems. Should be taken to mechanic shop who specializes in them, not many.

O 320 has been around along time with a good reputation. Most A and P’s are well versed in it. That counts for a lot.

He’s just putting in writing what I or a lot of sellers are thinking anyway. The longer the plane is listed, the softer the price. In two weeks I might offer him 50,000, take it leave it. Wouldn’t be surprised if he took it. I know he’s not firm on his price.

Follow main highways(plenty of emergency landing spots, people will see you if you go down, minimum altitudes, likely to be airports along the way), weather determines route, early takeoffs, be more conservative with headwinds, more aggressive if the ind is at your back(throttle back to...

As a survival of 5 “fender benders”, two with only me to blame, 3 mechanical (2 of which just out of annual), I understand the feelings. As some have said, give it time for you to reflect on the accident, the cause, how much you enjoy flying, your family responsibilities, etc. Flying is...

That sounds really wise. Real cost of a plane is not buying, but maintenance, upkeep, gas, motels, rent cars, etc. Not enjoyable when one is under financed, then the plane sits and is useless.

Agree with 172/177. The back seat not only has the room and ease of entry, but gives a much better forward view and downward view than a low wing. The Omni vision also makes the back seater less claustrophobic and less likely to get airsick. All my non pilot passengers have preferred a high wing...

I’d walk away from this “deal”, wait a few years, let the bubble bust, and buy the plane of my dreams. Maintaining an airplane is expensive enough, paying retail to restore an airplane seldom makes sense, especially with our economy.

Most important decision in airplane ownership is finding the right mechanic who you respect and he respects you. There are very few left. I might not trust many people I deal with, but I have to trust my mechanic or find one I do trust or sell the plane.

Sometimes cockpit resource management isn’t pretty, but far from the worst outcome.

Any aircraft that has not been flown 50/hrs a year over the last 3 years, a recent overhaul with less than 50 hrs, a recent change of owners where the new owner put less than a 100 hrs on plane since purchase. I like to buy from an owner who has flown the plane regularly, been maintained...
