You'll do even better LOP.

I think 6PC is the expert on Less One Piston ops

For all we know, there's a rated pilot in the right seat monitoring the approach. Cut the guy some slack and don't assume he's being unsafe.

Yeah he is, that's really why he has a C206!
The 206 maybe going up for sale. With the 5 of us and fuel needed to meet our mission, we are still coming up short. Seriously considering a DA62 believe it or not.

Will a DA-62 do that much better on load than the 206? I got the impression that they're more 4 passenger twins. I may be confused with the DA-42 though.

The DA-42 is the 4 seat twin. The DA-62 is the 5-7 seat twin with a useful payload of 1,600LBS to that give me 1,000LBS with full fuel and a range of 1,000NM at 200KTS. Basically can make it to anywhere we would normally travel non-stop and while the cost to maintain would be much higher, the fuel burn alone compared to the 18-20GPH 100LL that I am burning now vs. the Jet-A would more than likely offset that
At least that is the story I'm telling my wife. I start Multi Training on Monday so we will see how that goes.

Very nice! I always liked the idea of the diesel twins. Such low fuel burn and a twin for redundancy. Best of luck with it.

This will likely be my last one. But we can still fly together. You can teach me new tricks and I can teach you G1000 and photography on final approach

New tricks, you're not hitting on me are you?
ps be glad to tag along
Well it is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to nice of a day not to fly. Going to head to lunch and then depart KBHM around 1:30 for KAUO. If you look up around 1:38 ill give you a little wing rock.

Next time I overnight in BHM if you just want to give me your 206, I'd be happy to take it for you so you've got space for the DA-62, I won't even charge you anything for my services.

He means you post whatever you want to post here and then make sure to generally ignore the 100 post *****-fest that erupts immediately thereafter, perhaps scanning for sane responses from people you know personally.

Thanks for the tip. Incredible flight this am from KAUO to KBHM so I figured I'd give it a shot. Here are the results so others can visualize what you describe!
