Thanks for everyones input, certainly helpful.

Hello everyone, Its been a while since I have been here, a few years ago I was working on getting my instrument rating but had to stop due to a job change etc. Now I am back and financialy ready to restart. I have looked at several of the common planes used for training but they are priced...

Kings, the best I have found.

So, if am understanding this correctly the 10 hours has to be done in a TAA complex plane? how about the check ride, I know a complex is not required for that, but is a TAA required during the check ride?

Thanks everyone, for all of these comments in regards to my question. I do believe it will be the Maule I will be getting.

Thanks, I wasn't sure and it certainly sounded like something worth asking about. And what you said about giving dual time in a 172 validates your view of it as well.

Hello folks, I recently posted a thread on buying my own plane, whether it be a Maule or Cessna 182 for time building etc and to use for family traveling. I failed to mention that I am trying to aquire the 1.,500 hrs for my ATP so I can hopefully get on with a regional or local company that has...

Very valid point, and that is just another reason I want to buy and not rent.

Bill, Thank you very much for your views and info on the Maule. I have considered complex planes too, and yes I should of stated earlier I am wanting tp try and get on with a regional or local company possibly.

I am actually leaning more toward the maul due to less $$$.

I think the thread has gotten a little off topic, I have no desire to rent the plane out, I only want it for my personel use as a time builder and then to keep for a family plane. I guess in a nut shell I am trying to figure out will I have any issue with commercial manuevers in a plane bigger...

Thanks everyone for your valued information. Im still trying to decide between the Maule or a arrow.

Well, not really large planes, lol but bigger than 172's and have constant speed props.

Hello, I currently have my PPL and have decided that I would like to get my instrument, commercial and ultimately my CFI and ATP. Over the past few years I have acquired over 280 hours through renting a 172M. I have decided that buying my own plane would be better, as I can be making payments...

P piper arrow.
