The 10 dual might not be an ins. requirement, but might be imposed by the club. To get into the 182 we require 125 total time and two XC of at least 250nm , and just a checkout with a CFI. The idea is that you should have a little experience operating away from the nest before taking the faster...

How about this. I think Aircraft Spruce sells STCed, PMAed versions:

Pretty cool plane Tom. How would it do at 6800' on 4400' of paved runway? I know that Velocitys require more runway due to not having flaps. Might be tough to sell the members on an experimental, but I am not opposed to it.

Lots of good responses already, thanks! Ron, I agree with you as to getting another copy of the aircraft that is most utilized. In this case that would be the 182S. Some members of the club haven't gotten checked out in the TR182 because they don't want to spend the money (10 hours dual). I am...

Background: We have about 40 members, half of which actually fly. Currently we have 3 aircraft: a 1977 R172K Hawk XP (195hp with a Const. Spd. Prop), a 1999 182S, and a 1979 TR182. The TR182 was recently gear upped, but did not get totaled by insurance, and is currently undergoing repairs...

We do have an active club. Our 172XP averages over 250 hours a year. Considering the winter we have up here, I think that is pretty good.

Same problem as most gear ups - pilot error. Here is the story from the local paper: http://www.steamboattoday.com/news/2012/jul/24/no-injuries-after-plane-crashes/ The pilot was coming into Steamboat doing an IFR approach. At the IAF (HAYBRO) he began configuring the plane for landing. He...

Unfortunately I am going to be out of town this weekend (mountain biking in Grand Junction). Let me know next time you are up, and we can get together. You made a good decision buying the 182 vs. joining the club. Someone gear-upped the TR182 last month, and it is going to be down until at...

Awesome!! That should do well up in Steamboat!

Peggy, That is awesome!!

Ok then, do you have an explanation for the deposits? (Or are you just going to be an old curmedgeon and walk back into the hanger muttering to yourself?)<------note: parenthetical comment meant in jest! :) Edit: Missed that Tom already offered and explanation of the deposits. What evidence...

Looks like Leadville is have a fly in on Sept 29th. Might be a cool Colorado POA meet-up also! Link: http://www.lxvairport.com/newsandevents.html

Hopefully the Bull killed a few of these people, thus ridding humanity of their worthless genes.

Google Calendar?

Re: Video of 7 hour flight from Denver (KBJC) to Seattle (KAWO) in 5 minutes with mus Awesome, right at 30 seconds, you fly over my house. Stagecoach Lake is clearly visible.

A major flight control "locks up" and it is not an emergency?!?

Awesome John, sounds like a perfect mtn plane. Can't wait to see it on the ramp @ SBS!!

Lowest DA I've seen at the home drome was somewhere around 3500', it was -40f and very little humidity. :)

Congrats!!!!

I will have to look into this, this sounds a lot easier.
