    Cessna 182, vs 206

    Sorry took so long to reply. There is no comparison to the storage between the 206 and 182. The 206 is huge the 182 has a slightly bigger storage space of a 172. The cargo doors on the 206 makes loading and unloading simple. As for late model versus early model not sure the differences...

    Life Insurance

    I have a number of life insurance policies. All taken out before I started flying. Do not believe they have exclusions, but it may be cold of me, it's probably not going to affect me as I will be dead if the policies need to pay. Even without reasons insurance companies find ways not to pay...

    UPS rant

    The last five or six real estate transactions I have done have been through Dropbox or similar process. All electronically, no notary, funds transferred electronically, and in much less time. Have used this for local as well as long distance transactions. In fact, it was used from initial...

    PPL head injury medical exam

    Do not necessarily disagree, but again not nothing about his circumstances just having his descriptions, not withstanding there are many definitions as to what a mild head injury really is, the forces that result in skull fractures, and "brain bleed" are such that it is unlikely his injuries...

    PPL head injury medical exam

    I will try to be nice.. Not sure what you mean by brain bleed, but the combination of multiple skull fractures, and brain bleed is almost certainly much more than a mild head injury.

    Benign Brain Tumor

    It seems to me your surgeon is unwilling or unable to help you in the process. Hopefully, my assumption is wrong. Short of seeing someone like Dr Chien, I would suggest you speak to your AME and see what their advice is. My experience has been once you are willing to jump through the hoops...

    Benign Brain Tumor

    You certainly have a huge more experience with the FAA medical certification process. In my clearly limited experience of the process for a number of pilots with neurological disorders, their methodology more often involves utilization of tests and documentation that are not predictive, nor...

    Where are we on EGTs and CHTs?

    That is what my 2009 T206H does if you are not on topm of it. In my T182T flew to max TIT and CHT were reliably in the 360brange. Do that in my 206 and CHT is 400 to 405. So I fly to keep the CHT to 380. Requires more fuel, and opening the cowl. My mechanic says I am being over cautious but...

    Watching the Blue Angels is Unhealthy

    My bad. When I read it I thought it was satire.

    Benign Brain Tumor

    Iggy, not wanting to get in a ****ing match here, but there is a lot of misunderstanding and seemingly, clearly poor management of medical certification when the FAA deals with neurological issues. In my dealings over the years (and disclaimer here...I AM NOT AN AME) I have helped a number of...

    GPS backup

    Why not go back to the basics, low tech and minimal maintenance, and cheap to make: https://sometimes-interesting.com/concrete-arrows-and-the-u-s-airmail-beacon-system/

    Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension - Denial or SI?

    The mri findings are nonspecific, and are clearly not diagnostic. Unless you have the clinical presentation of the condition I would not put much faith in the mri interpretation. If I was you, my next stop would be to an ophthalmologist preferably a neuro-ophthalmologist who can do a good...

    VFR into PHL?

    So probably cheaper to pay the facility fee and fuel elsewhere.

    Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension - Denial or SI?

    First the ocular nerve better known as the oculomotor nerve or the third cranial nerve(III) has little to do with visual acuity. Dysfunction of the nerve can cause double vision, drooping of the eyelid, and pupillary dilation. Pupillary dilation can cause loss of accommodation (focusing) but...

    Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension - Denial or SI?

    Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is not a diagnosis made on imaging studies. It is a clinical diagnosis that requires a constellation of symptoms, ocular findings, and a lumbar puncture. I assume your MRI showed small ventricles or "a swollen brain." That does not mean you have the...

    Cessna 182, vs 206

    My first plane after I got my ticket was a 2007 T182T. It was a great plane. I have no complaints. It is front heavy. I sold it(I was getting too busy to fly regularly) and after a hiatus of about a year or so was missing flying, and my personal situation changed. After looking at numerous...

    Bonanza down at Long Island Airport

    Not like it used to be. Been practicing for more time than I care to remember, and from as long as can remember all I ever wanted to be was a doctor. It used to be a field where taking care of patients was the top priority, now days there are so many constraints, taking care of patients seems...

    G-1000 CHT display

    In the G1000 on the MFD there is a soft key for ENGINE. If you hit that then you press the lean soft key which gives you a Bar graph for CHR, EGT, and TIT. The display will automatically display the numeric value for the hottest cylinder. There is a soft key that says CYL SLCT that will allow...
