Pro rata sharing of expenses is limited by the FAA's 'common purpose' test, which requires the private pilot and all expense-sharing passengers to share a genuine common purpose for their travel. That is, the pilot must need to get to the same destination(s) as the passengers for the same reasons.

kayoh190: "Yeah, not much to sacrifice when the entirety of your aviation experience comes from a Cirrus brochure and a subscription to Popular Science." You may need to look up the definition of trolling. Are you flying a brochure/magazine or a real aircraft? Or are all your hours in...

The Glasair III is rated G limits: +6/-4. But the Lancair MAKO has G limits: (utility) +4.4, -2.2. The aircraft can spin with no ill effects. Since both the turbo MAKO and the Glasair III are max cruise at 250+ they are equivalent in performance. But the Glasair is a retractable 2...

You don't get to hit a balloon in an emergency either. Here is the reg: 14 CFR 91.113 - Right-of-way rules https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.113

Since hot air balloons have no way to control direction of flight they have the right of way in all airspace. All others in the air are responsible for seeing and avoiding them.

So was I. ;)

Cirrus has checklists in the G1000. Garmin Pilot has them in the EFB for most makes/models including Cirrus.

The four seat Lancair MAKO non Turbo and Turbo (fixed gear) and two seat Glasair Super II-RG (fixed gear) and III (retractable gear) are nearly the same at their top ends. Both 205kts and 250kt plus speed demons. Lancair is now a Texas company. Glasair a Chinese owned company HQ in Arlington, WA.

Yea, it's painful to not be able to afford one.

Again, to make this statement ring true the bulk of Cirrus customers would need to be low-time and unsophisticated pilots and that is simply not the case. The used market may see what you call a "lay person" buying an SR20. But that is not under Cirrus control. Cirrus makes sure new customers...

Don't care if he owns American Airlines. And I don't see the answer on his aircraft ownership experience or anything else that justifies his personal attacks. My career enabled me to buy whatever I want. Did his?

I have 1200 hrs plus and have owned three aircraft. All new. You?

Nothing.

That's the point. None of the jobs I listed are manual labor.

Is this new version of the 172 better than the 30 year old version?

Manual labor? Try every job now currently done by humans, including doctors, lawyers, CEOs and all other executives, scientists, writers, pilots, engineers, and even mothers/fathers (people bred from DNA directly). 21 Jobs Already Done By Machines...

In a world where machines make and do things labor costs go to near zero. There is still a cost of the resources and that is why Bezos is going after asteroids and China, Japan and the USA are racing to mine the moon. So what do people do when the jobs they once did no longer exist? They...

No expansion needed. On it's face it is absurd to contend a 30yo plane has intrinsic value beyond a 2yo plane. If 30yo planes were superior to new planes then no new planes would ever be made or sold. And the pricing would reflect the value theory - the old planes would cost more, the new...
