Tried to search, but nada. Flying from the East tomorrow morning. Elevation is 1700 with lots of nearby high hills. Looks like you want to keep the airport pattern pretty tight. Anything else? Many thanks.

I had the same thing in my former plane. I believe it was caused by an internal battery failure.

I fly from Naples to MTH a few times a month during the winter. Can't really help out with restaurants as I always just go to the Subway that's just off the airport. Perhaps others will chime in with other activities. The folks at GA are quite friendly and helpful. There's often a...

4 reasons. 1. larger resale audience 2. slight speed increase 3. slight performance improvement on triple h days 4. I have to cross the Appalachians a few times a year and it's sometimes much safer to do so at 17 as opposed to 11. In my haste, I forgot to mention the presence of WAAS in...

Thanks for the input boys. I believe I have a now have a deal on a 2008 Turbo 182 with 150 hours. No SVT, however.

Need to make a decision RIGHT NOW. Looking at a 2006 and 2008 T182T, 150 hours tt each. Price delta is huge: like $70k. I'm a 600 hr ir pilot who flies a lot of 1 hour hamburger missions. I rarely fly in IMC except for a few flights a year. Thoughts? Many thanks.

Pascal @ Aero Teknic in Toronto 450-676-6299. Not sure of the 496. Edit: Montreal, not Toronto. Pilotshop dot com also offers trade ins.

Wow, crazy low price! I just bought a 696 and they gave $1200 trade in on my 396. Someone should snap this up quickly.

Always free. I'm always looking for an excuse to fly and love the company.

I've been in Naples since mid-Jan and regularly fly over to Marathon since the Subway is only a 5 minute walk from the FBO. Flightplan your route to stay West of Miami, otherwise you'll get vectored. Get the AWOS and make calls into Marathon at 10 nm and 5 nm. I've noticed some of the radio...

Congratulations! Get that poster drymounted - It'll last forever that way.

I've been in Naples since Mid-Jan. If I'm going sight-seeing on the lakeshore or down to Marathon for a Subway, I won't file, but I've taken a bunch of trips to Northern Florida and can't imagine not filing. So much traffic and so many MOA's. It's far more relaxing to file.

:P After enduring weeks and weeks of delays related to avionics ( I think I've now re-bought my entire plane, piece by piece), an instructor who preferred to have me pay for his career, a ne'er do-well examiner who was unable to show up on time and multiple days of bad wx, I finally did my ride...

First 50 hours were exclusively on grass. But that was in the '70's :P

Had a bit of a boo-boo with mine and ended up with two. Horrible, unpainted grey color. Part no. 0731606-9. List is $200. Can easily be found for $150. Yours for $100 shipped.

While buying a 182S in New Jersey, I managed to get weathered in with no end in sight. Ron flew in on minutes' notice and flew us back to Toronto. Hard to imagine a nicer, more accomodating guy! Not to mention the most competent and professional pilot I've ever met. Thanks again man, it...

Many thanks to all who contacted me. My CFI, who was set to board a plane destined for Cancun last night, decided not to tangle with Dean and canceled his plans.

Hello. I just bought a 1998 182 in NJ. I need it flown to the Toronto area this weekend or early next week. If you are fully checked out in a 182 and have a passport and are available, please pm or email me: jgrant140@gmail.com. Thanks.

This book. Apparently crucial to a good understanding of the plane and how to drive it safely.

Hey guys, assuming my 1998 182 passes the ppi today, I'll be its new owner on Thursday. I'd like to get this book, but can't find it a publisher or book sellor. If you'd sell me yours, send me a pm. Thanks!
