I've heard the same from friends who moved to a Meridian from the piston PA46.

Redundancy. Every single other new glass cockpit plane at this level has two PFD's. If the PFD on the left fails, you've got reversionary mode to push to the MFD. If that fails too you still have the other PFD. Then the two PFD's show the independent results from the two ADC's and the two AHRS's...

I just noticed on the brochures that it only has one PFD? That is very unusual for a plane at this price point. What other shortcuts/compromises have been made to keep the price below $2 million?

You don't have to buy new. You can shop for late model TBM's easily at that price. Agreed.

I showed the Cirrus jet to my wife at Oskosh. I thought she'd be excited. She told me "I'm not setting foot in that fugly thing". And that was that. It will be interesting to see how well it does. It kinda screams "I can't afford a real jet but want to pretend I've arrived even though the...

What do you do? Start looking for cats, ducks and butterflies? See which way your farts go and use that for up? Pull the red handle?

Well I don't think I would proceed to land on any runway (turf included) if I see another plane clearly getting ready to take off... He didn't see you but you saw him and elected to land anyway? I'm not so sure the blame is all with him.

Just paint your face orange with white inverse raccoon eyes and wear an orange woman's wig backwards with the hair flopped backwards and forwards a few times. Easy peasy. And don't forget to vote. I just did my early voting.

That is easy to get around. "I was on that flight and am indeed a CFI. However I was not the PIC and not acting as CFI since I was in fact asleep. I was unconscious during the entire sequence of events. I was therefore present in the aircraft as a passenger only".

Snow's is one of the places in Texas high up on my list to visit but so far has eluded me because there is no nearby airport with a courtesy car. One of these days I will suck it up and just rent a car and drive there. I've heard great things about Snow's. They open at 8 AM on Saturdays only and...

Kansas has the best beef. I will give you that. But the best BBQ? Nope. Not even close.

This is the LAST place you should be asking that question. :D The obvious and bad advice is NONE OF THE ABOVE, go buy a plane instead. You only live once after all.

I don't really understand all the turbo hate. I've only ever owned planes with turbos. I've never had any expensive issues. I always fly ROP with CHT's at below 380 F and fly the recommended power settings or lower and let the turbos cool before shutting off. Maybe those who have issues are...

The problem with threads like this is you only hear one side of the story... Every story has three sides. His, hers and the truth. We've heard his. I'll leave it there.

Looks like fun. Great pictures!

A very tenuous connection.

Just last weekend I had a guy crap in his pants. No warning. Just a helluva smell and then an apology that he had just soiled himself unexpectedly. He bolted for the bathroom at the FBO when we landed 20 minutes later. It was disgusting. Accidents happen though. What can you do? We didn't...

:rolleyes: "OMG the emails, the emails!" :Do_O What does Hillary's emails have to do with this incident anyway? We will be waiting with bated breath for your expert analysis of this incident. :)

Hmm... Maybe he is Henning... or Captain? I'd say more likely this is Cameron. :D

Some people need to grow thicker skins or ignore the threads that offend them. And perhaps get counseling if they are really offended by such tame stuff.
