Jeremy, What kind of trader are you? Equity trader here. Although I wasn't considering buying an SR22 to train in, I bought a Mooney with all of 55 hours under my belt and a fresh PPL in a 172. Got the complex endorsement, then straight into the Instrument rating. I thought it was a great way...

I still don't get it. Are you talking about a holding pattern done in turbulence? Or, just trying to maintain altitude in very turbulent air. Either way, I don't like an autopilot steering (leveling) while I'm controlling altitude with the yolk. You feel it turning against you and also if you...

I don't understand the need for a pure stabilization mode. I've had that in the Mooney, the wing leveler, and found it virtually useless. Without being able to hold altitude or track a heading or waypoint, how much workload have you actually reduced? The Aztec has an Stec-55 and all I can...

Ron, I PM'd you. Michael - Okay, "upgraded" may have been a bad choice of words. It was my first plane and I really hated getting rid of it. But the family has outgrown it. I need more seats.

Hello all. I recently upgraded from a Mooney to an Aztec (PA-23-250). I'm having trouble finding an instructor in my area with any Aztec time. I need to add on a multi-rating. Does anyone know of anyone willing to train me in Eastern NC??
