Title says it all. I am a 500 hour IFR rated pilot. Looking for increased speed and ability to climb over small summer storms. Any P 210 advice would be useful. Positive or negative.
I have a 182Q. Wheel fairings and flap gap seals. I average 135-140 knots. With 12 gph. I regularly fly from KBHM TO X51. Average 4.5 hours 55 to 60 gallons per trip.
Garmin GTX ADS-B in and out. $6,600.00. S-Tec 55X auto pilot with electric trim. $27,930.00. Aspen Pro 1000 PFD with Syn vision. $14,900.00. The other $50k interior and exterior paint.
I've flown in a couple of times in the past couple of months. Fairly easy. Nice FBO. Loaned me a car once and a van the next. Topped off with fuel both times. So no extra charges. Have to contact ground when ready to taxi. Not much to see and do around Gainsville.
LOL! I am experience in the vastness and boring aspect of the glades. I fly into Homestead X51. I am tomorrow. I have a friend who is a licensed charter captain in the Everglades. He wants me to fly him around so he can plot some new fishing areas. The western shoreline is beautiful.
