Thanks for all the responses I’m going to stay away from the non waas g1000. I’m interested in a turbo 182 . I found 2 , one has 1900 TT with 600 on reman. Lycoming asking 370k . The other is exact same plane TT 1200 , engine 1200 , asking 319k. Any opinions??

Looking at two 182s. Similar airframe and total time . One has six pack , 2002 bendix , non waas. The other is a 2004 non waas G1000. Which is better and more economical to upgrade to waas. Both are priced about the same .

Obviously went over 100k, it’s only money , beautiful plane. ENJOY! Looks like you went with a Vanbortel plane , how was your experience with them .

Sounds like a realistic plan. Always need pilots and engineers. Trump is only a risk if you come here illegally or attempt any activity which goes against the US constitution. Americans for the most part are very accepting of all people.

So is pulling fuel strainer allowed?

Thinking of flying to Philadelphia to see a baseball game. Am I better off going into KPHL or one of the smaller airports with my 172?

Based on the winds isn't 12 the preferred runway? In this situation can you request a different runway than what ATC is giving you?

James, could you clarify your point. You state you would want pt 91 minimums to fly your family in IMC . Did you mean pt 135 minimums and if so how many pilots out there met these minimums before taking family into IMC?

So if I go by 135 standards I need to get 700 more hour to get TT up to were I need to be , assuming I average 70 hrs a year this means 10 years of flying till I can consider using my plane as a means of transportation

I decided to rent a car and drive home . Will fly back to Raleigh on commercial flight and bring plane back when a nice window opens up. So definitely an experience to remember and solidifies the need for IFR ticket. And no I realize that this doesn't mean I will never get delayed , but here in...

So to continue my journey.... Weather along my route is not good some MVFR at best, flying with 1100 ceiling in unfamiliar area with cells towers topping at 1700 is out of the question. So Saturday flying is out and weather on Sunday is predicted to be worse with long range forecast showing no...

so I took my wife and daughter to myrtle beach from Long Island (21N) last Sunday . Planned to leave Thursday but don't have to be back till Monday. So gives me nice window if weather craps out, no problem , WRONG!!! So left yesterday headed as northeast as possible ended up in Roxboro,NC...

If you are one of those 104 lives worth every cent!

Sump fuel with Gats jar before leaving hanger. Put fuel back in after I stick for fuel quantity. Also sump after top off and discard.

Let's be nice that's someone's grandfather you're talking about!

Can anyone identify plane?

Wearing lenses overnight is the worse thing you can do to your eyes. Most corneal ulcers I see are caused by overnight wear.

Get fit with lenses designed for the wearing schedule you are comfortable with. Overwear eventually causes problems. Treat people on a regular basis that abuse wearing schedule.

1500 a year for the added safety of BRS. Sounds like a good deal to me.
