    Cessna Cardinal C177B Pilots and Owners - Training and Flt Characteristics.

    I own and fly a C-177B. They are great airplanes in my opinion….like most, they would benefit from additional HP, but I am not aware of any engine upgrades for the B model cardinals, especially to 220 HP. As for slips, the Cardinal handles slips very well, I don’t believe any of the 177B...

    MOSAIC rule to be published on 7/24

    Notice that the table converts IAS to/from TIAS. I’m thinking that TIAS is an older term for CAS, not true airspeed.

    For reasons of national security, please kindly don't fly so low

    I believe that is the Savanah River Site. Lots of nuclear research.

    ForeFlight Sentry

    Yup. Have had it happen repeatedly. So much so that it is currently back with uAvionics to be checked out. Will most likely get rid of it when we get it back. We don’t trust it.

    a bit different "what plane should I buy" question

    I agree with @Cardinalguy and @Sinistar a B model Cardinal seems to fit well. Lots of room in the back seat. Large, wide opening doors, an lower to the ground entry…wide cabin means lots of room inside. ETA: @WDD is right $70k probably won’t get you a good one these days.

    First Airplane Recommendations

    For your mission, I would consider a C177 Cardinal. Much more roomy than a 172. But doubt you will find one in the $30k range these days.

    (South)East Coast Lunch Stops?

    To add a bit more clarity on the restricted areas and MOAs: R-2903 and 2904 (around Keystone (42J): some part is typically active all the time Palatka 1 and 2 MOAs, R-2906, 2907, 2910 are typically cold. Jekyll Island (09J) which is just south of St Simons is a nice place to stop. They have...

    (South)East Coast Lunch Stops?

    Typically the MOAs and Restricted area around Lake George (east of Ocala(OCF)) are cold. Easy to check with Jax Center. Further south, the MOAs and Restricted areas around Avon Park are often hot. Albert Whitted (SPG) has a good restaurant on the field (second floor of FBO) I think the new...
