Sorry Salty, I should have explained that this new plane I put an offer on has 820 hours SMOH, it just has only been flown 10 hours in 4 years

This new plane im looking at has Dual Toe Brakes, so no issues there. But this new one also has a turbo so idk how much more that will complicate my PPL Checkride

This one has been sitting for 4 years but the owner did the 100hr/Annual maintenance every year. Should I be really concerned about this engine? Im trying to finish my PPL training with this plane, I can handle quite a bit but I hope having a turbo wont complicate things immensely. Thanks for...

Has it been a decently reliable engine so far? Im kind of worried with all the bad reviews im hearing about this engine, hoping they are all wrong

Hey guys, I ended up finding a 1977 Piper Arrow Turbo with the Continental TSIO-360-F engine in it. Anyone have any experience with this engine?

This all really helps, thank you Flyingcheesehead! Would it just be easier and faster (reducing downtime so I can start training) to just buy a low time engine 200-500 hours and just do an engine replacement? Its my understanding that overhauls take 6-8 weeks?

A lot of the CFI's I talk to are hesitant because the airplane im looking to buy does not have Dual (PIC/Co-Pilot) toe brakes. A lot of people say the CFI should not have a problem with using the handbrake. I would happily add right side toe brakes but I cant seem to find how much that would...

How do I find out roughly what things will cost? How much does weight and balance cost? How much would it cost to change the Garmin 150 to Garmin GNS 430? Adding toe brakes to co-pilot side? Thank you all for the help so far, I do a lot of work on exotic cars but airplanes are completely...

He wants $36,000 for the airplane but I talked him down to $26,000! Im factoring in $25,000 for engine replacement or overhaul, so call it a $60,000 piper arrow with 2600 hours of private owner time (not used as a trainer). Feels like a good deal, no? The paint and interior is in near perfect...

I am going to Embry Riddle Aeronautical online at the moment because they do not have a campus here in San Diego, CA. I have a good job in San Diego and the weather allows me to fly often. I strongly considered going to their Prescott or Daytona Beach campus and I came to the conclusion that I...

Hello! I am currently a student pilot with my solo endorsement and am having trouble completing my private pilot training due to the fact that my schools airplanes are booked up 4-5 weeks in advance. I need to buy an airplane. I will try to keep this as short as possible, but I appreciate all...
