Sent! I usually fly into KCUT. I'll have to check out 3V0 while I still can.

Don't have exact numbers in front of me, but I'd say under 50hrs.

Garmin replaced all my Servos in my 182 after I had a failure. Was told they had a bad batch of servos and mine was on the list. Haven't had any issues since knock on wood.

I agree 100% with everything you said. Maybe someday... I'm just looking for that perfect hot start procedure that works every time. Looks like my best bet is to keep using my Shutdown/Hot Start Procedure #2 and when/if that fails go to this method. Thanks for all the help Hot Start: 1) Fuel...

Why is this? Does it have to do with 100LL properties? My fuel injected truck fires right back up after a bathroom break...

Thank you. This is my current Hot Start Procedure #2 and one everyone recommends. I just don't have the success everyone else seems to have with it. Do you pull your mixture to idle cutoff in one smooth motion say 1-2 seconds? How about restarting are you fast with advancing the mixture once it...

Outside temp doesn't seem to be a factor as we are talking about a quick restart. I've seen people in old cubs come coasting in with the engine off. I always just thought they were showing off.

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen. I should have added to the original post that I usually only have problems with really hot starts. I always do the cowl flap & oil door trick mentioned above and it will start right back up if is longer then say 45 minutes (9/10). The problem is when I drop off...

That procedure is the same as my Shutdown/Hot Start Procedure #2 unless I am missing something. I only have about a 50% start chance with that one.

Thank you! I'll give it a try

For the last 10 years or so I've owned a Cessna 182S with a Lycoming IO-540. Overall, I love the plane and engine, however I have one issue that is driving me insane. I cannot seem to come up with a reliable hot start procedure... One day it will start on the first rotation of the prop, then the...

I've flown this route in my 182S. Followed highway 189 starting at Bondurant. Nice way into KJAC

If the weather and your time schedule allow I recommend going around the north side of the bighorns, direct to KCOD, through the sylvan pass, and hang a left. The Bighorn Canyon area is beautiful and you get to see some of Yellowstone. I've done that route a few times in our 182 and always...

I've owned a 1998 182S for about 8 years and overall have really enjoyed the aircraft. Some of the items I've had to deal with are listed below (might have missed a few). If you want any specific details just let me know. Overall pretty minor, just some additional expense which I believe to be...

I did the exact same thing before I made the trip to West Yellowstone! I agree it really helps!

That's no fun!!! Plane is only a few years old

Colorado Joe thanks for the fast response! I am undecided on what side of the Wind River Range (North or South), but if you say the south side is stunning we will probably go that way. I initially was looking at the north side through the Togwotee Pass. Any opinions on the north side?

I am planning a trip in late May to fly from the Denver area to West Yellowstone in our 182S for a long weekend. I am looking for some route suggestions and anything fun to do along the way.
