    Why buy a new C182 when you can buy a new twin for less?

    The Aerostar is a nice airplane. Out of all the ones I've flown 600(non turbo or Pressurized) the 601P, 602P, 700 and 702P the )92 is my favorite. Good trade off for speed verses fuel burn and doesn't hog the ground like a 601P. I find not hard to believe the 280 out is the 702P. I used to see...

    Why buy a new C182 when you can buy a new twin for less?

    This. Once you lose a couple of engines it will change your mind set. If I had that kinda money I'd be looking at one of these for my family hauler.

    This. Don't go in debt. It's not worth it. When you get your first regional job making 18-20K a year you'll be glad you don't have the student loans.

    V35 vs 182RG

    I don't know Mir. Once you've flown a bonanza it's tough to want something else.

    Rematch #427,395: Twins vs. Singles as Personal Airliner

    In our 350 at work I see 290-305 depending in temp. I love that bird very much. She flies just like a Baron only bigger and faster. The new one are nicer because they have dual temp zones. The front and back can now set their own temps. In ours if you comfortable up front the backs cold and if...

    Rematch #427,395: Twins vs. Singles as Personal Airliner

    For me it would be either a CE-441 with -10s. (300 knots on 340 PPH at altitude.) Or a King Air 350. Speeds the same but you're going to burn more. But the thing will haul whatever you can cram into it. The one I'm currently flying is fill the tanks and seats and Gina's still have some useful...

    Is this too far?

    My private ride planning was from THV-OKV and return. Hit all the airspace a that way as well. He still used the same route after all this time. My students got the same route. They are there to test your knowledge. It could be a long one or a short one. It's up to the examiner. I don't think...

    Head sets

    Used to use my Bose X exclusively. Then I found out about the Bose QC15 with the U-Fly-Mike. Noise canceling is just as good if not better than the Bose X. It's also much lighter and more comfortable. The whole set up is half of what the new A20s cost. I have a cord that I plug my iPod into it...

    Bose QC-2 vs. QC-15

    I have a U Fly Mike that I love with the Bose QC-2. I am thinking about upgrading to the QC-15. For those of you that have used both do you notice much of a difference between the two. Thanks Keith.

    Is Cirrus the new Bonanza?

    The problem isn't with the aircraft. It with the person in the left seat. Although I do have to say that because of the chute in the aircraft some people might tend to fly in conditions they otherwise wouldn't. That being said I have about 400 hours in them and happen to like treen for what they...

    Your Aviation Career

    For me it's pretty much a Monday - Friday 8-4 flying job. There are some dad that start earlier and get off later. Pay is not as GOP as some places but I am home almost every night to tuck my little boy into bed which means much more to me. Like other have said no 2 days are the same

    Age waiver

    You used to be able to do it with the ATP. However a few years ago they did away with that and now you have to be 23. I can't remember the reg but basically got a letter saying you demonstrated to the ATP level and when you turned 23 you took that to the FSDO and they gave you your ticket...
