You got me on that one! My wife reminds me of this every time the subject comes up. So it does come back to why make the pressurized jump? Comfort yes. Str you that much less comfortable at 12,000 feet in a Bonanza? We will only fly recreationally which means that any non surprise weather...

Two things about the m350. First, As I’m learning about the safety history of the m350 I get nervous. Partly because it may be that the plane is pushing the engine technology to too much. The range on the 350 is a little misleading I’ve been told. Considering that, the range on something...

I’ve already concluded that, for now, long travel is not an easy option flying myself. I’m leaning toward the Bonanza g63. Of course. I’ll have no idea until I fly one! Good g63 costs around $5-600k. With that plane, range loaded around 6-700 miles gets me a lot of places out of Atlanta. Our...

Of course. I’m exploring next steps on a long term plan. I’ve completed ppl, done some added. My next step is instrumentation. Then with added practice and training, I think I can aspire to say a Bonanza g63. That plane gives me much of what I want. I’ve realized m350 gives you...

10 years!! I’ll take that payout now god willing!

Your comment about the plane going without you. I didn’t want to mention it here but in fact, when you buy hull insurance, you are largely buying life insurance. Since standard life insurance won’t cover in flying accident (I’ve read) buy hull insurance and it will be a gift to your family...

Is it possible to partially insure the hull. I would not consider fully self insuring a $2 million. Can you risk share? Or buy hull insurance for half the value. Just a thought.

Can I ask what you fly Patrick?

Ouch!!

That would be faster and I like idea of having one in the beginning! Do you think a year or so of a lot of flying accompanied? I

Thanks Anthony. That is the clearest answer I’ve received and I’m going for it! 750 hours is a lot, but ... it’s a lot..of fun! Now I can rule out the Cirrus.

That’s where I am Jim! It feels right. I just feel so lucky to be doing this! Where are you based?
